McGrath's Detail
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.
The Kincora Scandal
The Kincora scandal shocked Northern Ireland when it received media coverage in 1980. Since then there have been six enquiries of various kinds into the systematic sexual abuse of boys in public care in Kincora and other institutions, but none of them has silenced public concern. At the heart of the Kincora affair is the intrigue that surrounds one of the convicted sex abusers, William McGrath. A prominent Orangeman on an evangelical mission, McGrath, though never elected to public office, nevertheless exerted a powerful influence on the development of Unionism in the 197Os and 198Os as the IRA campaign of violence escalated. Using hitherto unpublished sources, The Kincora Scandal reveals that as an agent of the British intelligence service, MI5, McGrath unwittingly played a key role in the deliberate destabilisation of the Northern Ireland state, a policy that had the long-term aim of facilitating British withdrawal - the so-called 'doomsday' scenario. It also details how, because of this, McGrath's activities as a sex offender were covered up and two police investigations were obstructed by the British establishment.
