Internationally acclaimed novelist Leon Uris ran away from home at age seventeen, a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor, to join the Marine Corps, and he served at Guadalcanal and Tarawa. His first novel, Battle Cry, was based on his own experiences in the Marines, which he revisited in his final novel, O'Hara's Choice. His other novels include the bestsellers Redemption, Trinity, Exodus, QB VII, and Topaz, among others. Leon Uris passed away in June 2003.
"An honest Irish story, emotional, full of...tales of Irish heroes
and fools, of God, fear and superstition, of love and hatred,
poverty and greed."--San Diego

powerful novel Trinity, a tale packed with romance and
adventure."--Philadelphia Sunday

tragedy of Ireland, and Uris's achievement is that he has neither
cheapened nor trivialized that tragedy."--New York
Times Book Review
