As Power Memorial students waited for St. Patrick’s Day marching practice outside the 12th Regiment Armory just a block from the school, a crazed gunman burst upon them and shot seven students, killing sophomore Tom Brady and wounding six other boys.

Jack O'Keefe, Ph.D., a university writing teacher, has written Brother Sleeper Agent  The Plot to Kill F.D.R., the story of the life of a young Irish immigrant trained to avenge the deaths of his parents killed by English gunmen. 

The IRA brings him as a teenager to New York and enroll him in a Catholic high school which has a seminary close to President Roosevelt's home in Hyde Park.  Posing as a religious,  the young man is really a killer, his mission to assassinate Roosevelt who has embittered the Irish by helping England in the war.
