Publisher's Synopsis
Henri le Caron (1841-1894) was a British spy who, inspired by genuine patriotic feeling, infiltrated the Fenian movement in 1965, as it was planning a plot against Canada. Risking his career, his family and even his life for Queen and country, he continued to work undercover until 1889, when his cover was finally blown. Through the fascinating life story of this extraordinary man, Peter Edwards reveals the early history of Canadian, British and American intelligence agencies and their infiltration of the Irish Republican movement.
