Patrick 'Cruxie' O'Connor

Patrick 'Cruxie' O'Connor was an Irish revolutionary and informer who played a key role in the Irish War of Independence. He was born in Ireland in 1895 and immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century. O'Connor became involved in the Irish republican movement and was eventually hunted by the IRA. He was killed in a shootout with the IRA in Central Park, New York, in 1922. O'Connor's story is a fascinating and complex one, marked by his involvement in both the Irish republican movement and the American underworld.
