Secret Service Under Pitt
William J. Fitz-Patrick, a Dublin biographer of Irish political figures, wrote Secret Service Under Pitt to uncover the informers who betrayed the United Irishmen in the 1790s and after. Working from official papers and private correspondence, he follows a mysterious visitor to a British minister, the arrests that followed, the hanging of Father O'Coigly, the case of Napper Tandy, the betrayal of Lord Edward FitzGerald, and the double lives of men such as Leonard McNally, a lawyer who defended the rebels in court while reporting on them to Dublin Castle. The tone is that of a detective inquiry, with each chapter tightening the case against a different suspect. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
