Synopsis
No member of the Garda Siochana died in the line of duty between 1942 and 1970. Since that date, fourteen members of the force have paid the supreme price. 'The Final Beat' is their story. From Richard Fallon, who died while trying to stop a bank robbery in Dublin, to Jerry McCabe, shot during an armed raid in Co. Limerick in 1996, the story covers almost thirty years. Each case recalls acts of conspicuous bravery, as members of the Gardai 'usually unarmed' were faced by violent and ruthless criminals. Liz Walsh tells the stories of these fourteen brave men. Her book is a reminder that the Gardai daily place their lives on the line in an increasingly violent society. For each of the dead Gardai, there are hundreds of others who perform acts of quiet heroism in the service of the community. 'The Final Beat' is a compelling read. It is a reminder of the debt we owe to the Gardai and of the real risks that they run on our behalf.

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. First edition. Paperback. No member of the Garda Siochana died in the line of duty between 1942 and 1970. Since that date, 14 members of the force have paid the supreme price. This is their story. From Richard Fallon, who died in 1970 while trying to stop a bank robbery in Dublin, to Andy Callanan, burnt to death in an arson attack in 1999, the book spans three decades. The author tells the story of these 14 brave men and of the families left behind. Using previously unpublished documents, the author reveals behind-the-scenes events surrounding the murder of Jerry McCabe, shot during an armed robbery in Limerick in 1996. From the planning to the aftermath, this book gives the definitive and detailed account of that robbery, those behind it, and an eye-witness account from survivor, Detective Ben O'Sullivan. A compelling read and a reminder of the debt owed to the Gardaí who daily place their lives on the line in an increasingly violent society. Illus. + Epilogue. 239pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers. N° de réf. du vendeur 17802
