FEAR NOT THE STORM: The Story of Tom Cullen, An Irish Revolutionary is a true-life novel about an obscure young man who becomes part of the leadership heading Ireland's struggle for freedom from Britain's rule in the early years of the 20th-century. Cullen's baptism of fire occurs while serving as a young Irish Volunteer during Dublin's 1916
Easter revolt. After his arrest, internment in Wales and release by the British government, he returns home. Quite unexpectedly, Tom becomes a friend and valued colleague of Michael Collins. During Ireland's War for Independence (1919-1921), Cullen embarks upon a life full of danger and intrigue. Serving as one of Collins's key intelligence agents, he matches wits with some of Britain's most dangerous spies and ruthless assassins. A seasoned veteran in 1922, he rises to the rank of major general in Ireland's new army. It is the determined accomplishments of this heroic Irish revolutinary that forms the center-piece of Cathal Liam's new work.
