Summary
A daring captain. A ship full of weapons. And a sinister plot that could cripple Britain.
In the heart of world war one, a devious plan devised by the German navy led to Naval Officer Captain Karl Spindler embarking on a perilous and secret mission. His task - to deliver German weaponry to Ireland and spark what would become the Easter Uprising.
Departing from Norway with a disguised ship, Spindler undertook a perilous mission with a small crew and a hold full of explosives. If he succeeded, he could unleash a threat that would cripple the British war effort. But if he failed, a prisoner of war would be his fate....
Uncover a thrilling true story from the depths of world war one. Told with heart-pounding detail that brings the lesser-known stories of the war to life, Mission to Ireland delivers a thrill a minute. You don’t need to be a history buff to enjoy this one.

A fascinating true story
A fascinating true story of a brave Captain and crew evading the British Navy in 1916, there are few account for this type available to listen to and I found this excellent and informative with lots of detail of ships, sailors and attitudes of this period , a great adventure story with an excellent narrator but who has problems with the pronunciation of some names and places, Nottingham becomes Nottington a copy of times but otherwise this is a great story. I received a complementary copy from Storyorigin and an leaving a voluntary and honest review
