This riveting mystery tells a story of politics, the military, and what happens when the forces of the well meaning collide with the misguided intentions of an evil few. Herman Gonzales, President of the United States, is about to leave Washington D.C. for the signing of the nuclear disarmament treaty in Brussels. As he is flying in the Presidential Helicopter to Andrews Air Force Base, something terrifying happens. It makes a diversion over the Maryland Coast and is lost. Admiral Franklin Delano, graduate of the Academy and decorated long time military leader, is chosen to take the most sophisticated nuclear submarine ever built on its inaugural shake down cruise off the coast of Virginia. The S.S. Alamos is a stealth sub which can't be detected by sonar or satellite tracking and can stay submerged for more than a year. The Admiral leads a rogue band of disgruntled U.S. military in an attempt to stop the treaty signing. They carry out a plan to kidnap the President and hold him hostage on the submarine, before he commits the U.S. to a total removal of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Both the Coast Guard and Navy search teams, facing fierce winds of Hurricane Vincent which is speeding up the East Coast, fail in their initial attempt to find the President. The missing and now empty helicopter is located later in deep water off the Maryland Coast. The Admiral and his rogue crew have not only arranged the kidnapping of the president but now threaten to launch a ballistic missile at The Mall, very close to the White House and Washington Monument. The exercise is to show what could happen if the treaty is signed. A cat and mouse game between the White House and the SS Alamos crew ensues as time moves along and the rogue military's threats become dangerously close to being carried out. Who wins this terrifying chess game is left to the readers imagination.

This is a similar copy to the earlier version of The 103d Cactus Division Story, based upon a booklet "Report After Action The Story of the 103d Infantry Division." written by two former journalists who were part of the 103d as they marched across France into Germany and finally into Innsbruck, Austria where the war against the Nazi's ended in May 1945. The earlier title included the short story "Thoughts From The War."

In reading "World War II The 103d Cactus Division Story" the reader becomes embedded with the U.S. troops as they wage battle after battle with the Nazi's. After the war ended, Newspaper reporters and members of the 103d, Ralph Mueller and Jerry Turk produced a book "Report After Action The Story of the 103d Infantry Division." A copy of the book sat in the Innsbruck Library [Stadtbücherei Innsbruck] for years following the war.When conducting research for the book "Bunker Treasures" the author happened into the Library to see if there were maps of the area showing abandoned rail road tracks from World War II. The director of the Library was called, and, and in hearing the request she asked me to wait and disappeared back into the inner sanctum of the building. When she came back, she was holding a only a frayed copy of a book with the insignia of a green cactus on blue ground and a yellow sky on the cover. The book you are about to read is based on that frayed copy. It is dedicated to the brave souls who fought with honor and determination through the challenging final stages of World War II and to those who gave their lives on the long road fighting the Nazi's from Marseilles to Innsbruck. djv murphy
