Praise
“[The Yank] reads like a movie script, full of mobsters, smuggling, sabotage, and murder….One thing it doesn’t have, though, is doubt.” — The New York Daily News
“At its core, The Yank is an adventure filled with scenes of combat, espionage, and smuggling… riveting…” — Coffee or Die Magazine
“Crawley delivers a full-throated and unrepentant call for a united Ireland in this lucid chronicle… A clear-eyed look, from the inside, at a group willing to risk it all for a cause.” — Publishers Weekly
“Readers interested in a firsthand account from an IRA fighter with a U.S. Marine perspective, one who is a forceful believer in Irish republicanism, will find this book very interesting.” — Library Journal
“A foot soldier in the Irish Republican Army delivers an unrepentant memoir. … An in-the-trenches story of life as an ordinary soldier in a complicated set of circumstances.” — Kirkus
“Thrilling… Crawley gets the reader’s heart pumping as he describes escaping shootouts with enemy troops, battling a hurricane in the North Atlantic while running guns from the U.S. to Ireland, and telling off a CIA agent who tried recruiting him.” — The American Military News
“Straightforward and unsentimental…Crawley provides enough context to understand the realities on the ground in the Ireland of the 1980s.” — Shelf Awareness
