Assassination. The Death of Sir Henry Wilson and the Tragedy of Ireland

By Rex Taylor. Published by Hutchinson of London in 1961.

“On 22nd June 1922 Field Marshall Sir Henry Wilton, Chief of the  
Imperial Staff, was shot dead on the steps of his London home by two  
members of the Irish Republican Army. Wilton was one of the most hated  
figures in the Catholic South. He was also a great soldier and  
statesman, and national hero to the English. His assassination  
increased the strain of Anglo-Irish relations to the breaking point.  
In this account of his death and of the subsequent trial and execution  
of the two men held responsible for it, Rex Taylor has vividly  
re-created one of the most dramatic episodes in modern British  
history. With his widely acclaimed biography of Michael Collins the  
author has already shown a remarkable understanding of the  
complexities of Anglo-Irish history. In ‘Assassination’ he has  
produced another brilliant study of a time of great drama and  
distress”. Published by Hutchinson of London in 1961.

Hardcover, 5.5x8.5, 224 pages, black & white illustrations, dust  
jacket. Jacket with wear and stains on the back flap, the back cover  
of the book also has some light stains.  $40, plus $3 shipping.
