Summary	You are going away from home on an important mission -- to meet Hitler and beat him on his own ground. For the time being you will be the guest of Northern Ireland. The purpose of this guide is to get you acquainted with the Irish, their country, and their ways. You will start out with very good prospects. The Irish like Americans. Virtually every Irishman has friends or relatives in the United States; he is predisposed in your favor and anxious to hear what you have to say. This, however, puts you under a definite obligation: you will be expected to live up to the Irishman's high opinion of Americans. That's a real responsibility. The people of Northern Ireland are not only friends, but Allies... It is common decency to treat your friends well; it is a military necessity to treat your allies well.--p.1.
