An urgent new assignment changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcKeown is sent to the oldest US naval base in Europe, in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. His public assignment is to close the base and turn it over to the Queen, who would determine its future. In truth, Londonderry's fate is already decided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcKeown's orders are to transfer the base to the British Army-an act expected to enrage IRA members active in Londonderry. Public knowledge of the decision would put both military personnel and base property at risk of terrorist attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs McKeown moves his laborious assignment forward, he learns to love the people of Londonderry even as he rediscovers his own Irish Catholic heritage.
