Episode 1121: The Yank - My Life as a Former US Marine in the IRA (extract)

In April 1975, a young Irish-American from Long Island headed on a mission to enlist in an elite unit of the US Marine Corps. His goal: to receive the most intensive and rigorous military training possible, and then move to Ireland to join the IRA and fight to end British occupation of the north.

John Crawley has lived an extraordinary life – working with notorious American mobster James ‘Whitey’ Bulger before working with the IRA in an attempt to knock out England’s power supply in a bomb plot gone wrong.

Here’s an extract from his memoir The Yank: My Life as a Former US Marine in the IRA, published by Merrion Press.
