A new podcast from Novara Media.
In the 1970s, many ordinary Irish Americans became militant advocates for a revolutionary socialist guerrilla group: the Irish Republican Army. Their weapons and donations allowed the IRA to go head to head with the British military. But they also built a real political movement in the United States, one that eventually changed the course of the Troubles—and their own identity.
Over six parts, Foreign Agent: The IRA's American Connection follows the guns, money, and politics from the US side of the conflict. Listen to the first two episodes next Tuesday, 24 May.
