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.

Author Jack O'Keefe was interviewed on television by Frank Avila, who called Jack one of the best authors in America. View the Brother Sleeper Agent interview here.
