I enjoyed this book from both a personal and historic standpoint (The book doesn't mention that the US Navy maintained a communications station in N. Ireland until 1977 - at which I served). The book highlights the role of N. Ireland in billeting soldiers, sailors, and airmen through out the war. Many of the places mentioned are locales I have visited. The friendliness of the people is unchanged. The book was a well written chronicle interspersed with many short narratives from those who experienced those times.
