On 23 November 1867 Manchester’s streets filled before dawn for the hanging of Allen, Larkin and O’Brien, Irishmen condemned after the rescue of two Fenian prisoners in which a police sergeant was killed. Sullivan tells their story, with their speeches from the dock and last letters, and adds the cruise of the Jacknell, a Fenian gun-running voyage from America.
