Gillian O'Brien discusses the murder of Patrick Cronin, secret assassination societies, and the Irish Republican movement in the late 19th centuryThursday, April 30th at 7pm
at Glucksman Ireland House
 Gillian O'Brien, Fulbright Scholar at the Newberry Library, Chicago, discusses the murder of Patrick Cronin,
an Irish-American doctor, who was killed in Chicago in May 1889 because
he knew too much about the corruption at the heart of the secret
revolutionary society, Clan na Gael.
Ranging from post-famine Ireland to 'Gilded Age' America, this talk
will explore a world in which secret assassination societies thrived
and police forces in America and Britain struggled to contain the
increasingly violent Irish Republican movement.
