THE WAR OF PATRICK O'GRADY, VC

In all wars there are winners and losers. Others just grind to a halt leaving the same corrupt officials in power. The leaders draw a line under it all and move on. But the young widow who has lost a husband, the parents who have buried a son and the children who will never know their father cannot move on. Nor can the seriously wounded soldier who is abandoned by his country. He can't move on. Patrick O'Grady is an Irish Catholic soldier who steps on a mine. His best friend is Ahmed Khan whose family come from the Taliban heartland of Pakistan. Both are involved and Ahmed is soon forgotten in Guantanamo Bay. Patrick strives to make a new life for his family. Both are frustrated and ignored by a politically correct Establishment that could not care less. This is the real war for Patrick O'Grady but there are no medals to be won as the bureaucrats obstruct his every move.
