Description

The Cold War was in high gear. Terrorist attacks around the world were on the increase; two hundred forty-one US Marines having just been killed by a suicide bomber in Beirut. Reagan was loaded for bear. America needed a win. Reagan pounced. His target was an idyllic island in the Windward chain of the lower Caribbean whose primary export, besides tourism, is nutmeg. A couple of hundred miles north of Grenada, a bumbling group of island misfits have stolen a boat and kidnapped the girlfriend of the local dive master and tough guy, Captain Jay. Captain Jay wants her back. He and a close-knit group of friends begin an island-hopping chase with the kidnappers that leads them through the Caribbean and, eventually, to the island of Grenada―on the eve of Operation Urgent Fury.

There was an old TV series that began ‘Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear.’ There’s no need to go that far back. Instead, just read Dave Culberson’s new book Fortnight of Fury. The plot-line, a kidnapping, is fiction, but the characters are real. I was one of them! We all knew the author’s portrayal of the bemused Rookie, ‘surrounded by men who lived for adventure and cared little about the risks,’ was spot on.
