The Enigma of Frank Ryan (2012) Excerpts

Compilation of clips from The Enigma of Frank Ryan.

Irish Republican hero Frank Ryan mystified his countrymen and many others with what seemed to be contradictory political impulses. While he fought against fascism with the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War, he later collaborated closely with the Nazi government, relying for years on German hospitality. Ultimately, he would die far from home, yearning to return to Ireland but turned away because of his political activities.
