McGrath's Detail

By Laurence Booker

The War is on Readers who enjoy action authors such as Heller, Griffin, Herman and Flanagan will love Booker.

McGrath's mission is vital. It is impossible for General Eisenhower to set in motion the greatest invasion in history against Nazi Germany without knowing the winds, tides, storms and weather lashing Great Britain from the powerful and devious North Sea. A small detachment of seven American sailors, led by Lt. William McGrath, United States Navy, himself of Irish descent and a Boston Blue Blood, arrives on Ireland's west coast near Galway Bay. Their assignment: supply Eisenhower's London Headquarters with crucial meteorological data to support the Normandy landings.

Typical Irish life, developing loves, rough fights, the exploits of youth, IRA sympathizers, spies, turncoats, Irish versus American ways, nobility and the common folk all play large parts in this marvelous, action-packed, moving, funny and poignant story. The exciting, engaging and stormy end of the book itself is an adventure to satisfy even the most demanding reader.
