When Winston Churchill wanted someone to deal with the problems in Ireland, he turned to his old friend Sir Hugh Tudor.
Tudor went to Ireland unable to grasp the complexity of the situation. He was described as “a man of no balance, knowledge or judgment and therefore a deplorable selection for his present post”.
On Free State today we talk to Linden MacIntyre about his new book on Hugh Tudor. Tudor was sent to Ireland as a “police adviser” and ended up controlling the RIC and the Black and Tans.
We look at how this man of no balance, knowledge or judgment allowed violence and murder to become a central part of his policing and how his time in Ireland altered the course of history.
