Produktbeschreibung
For almost two decades, Father Patrick Ryan evaded intelligence agencies across Europe and was, for a time, one of the most wanted men in Britain. In The Padre, award-winning investigative journalist Jennifer O'Leary exposes the exploits of this notorious former Irish priest and active IRA supporter.

Indeed, his one regret is that he wasn't even more effective.,
