The General and I leaves you in no doubt which version you should believe. This is the gripping and always entertaining story of an ordinary man’s struggle against a criminal psychopath. Wolfgang Eulitz worked hard notorious Leeson Street. After four successful years of witnessing the chaos and characters of Dublin’s nightlife, Martin Cahill appeared and tried to muscle in on Eulitz’s lucrative business. The hot dog wars had begun. “At the end of his outstretched hands he held a gun, which he now aimed directly at my head. These thugs were here for more than just money. These thugs belonged to Martin Cahill, alias ‘The General’.” Wolfgang Eulitz reveals that the popular perception that Martin Cahill as an ‘ordinary decent criminal’ is completely wrong, and that he was instead a cruel, sadistic and dangerous thug intent on destroying other peoples’ livelihoods.
