Place reservation for The yank : my life as a former US Marine in the IRAApril 1975. A young Irish-American from Long Island, NY, is on a mission to enlist in an elite unit of the US Marine Corps. His goal: to receive the most intensive and rigorous military training possible, and then move to Ireland to join the IRA and fight to end British occupation of the six counties of Northern Ireland. In this powerful and brutally honest memoir of his extraordinary experience, Crawley is unflinching in his commentary on IRA leadership and their tactics, both military and political, and through it all comes the steadfast voice of a man on a mission, providing an evocative and passionate account where that mission led him and why.
