Make Peace or Die: A Life of Service, Leadership, and Nightmares

by Charles U. Daly

An Irishman in the U.S Marine Corps, Charles U. Daly thinks fighting in Korea will be an adventure and a way to live up to a family tradition of service and soldiering. He comes home decorated, wounded, and traumatized, wondering what’s next. His quest for a new mission will take him to JFK’s White House, Bobby Kennedy’s fateful campaign, the troubles in Northern Ireland, and a South African township devastated by the AIDS epidemic. Chuck’s life is a true story of living up to Kennedy’s challenge to “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”At every juncture, he’s had two make peace or die. Daly chose to make peace with his fate every time, and that decision led him to a remarkable life of service.

This is a splendid book about an incredible man. I’m awed at the service and experience of Chuck but even more so at his ability to convey his story without a “better than thou” attitude. I would LOVE to have a pint with this guy
