About This Item
New York, NY: Random House , 2003 Random House, New York. 2003. Hardcover. Stated First Edition/ First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; tail bumping. DJ: Near Fine; bumping to jacket edges. Black boards with black overlay on spine with bright gilt lettering on spine. 373 pp 8vo. The war in Afghanistan was the most secret conflict since the CIA's covert war in Laos; thousands of journalists covered it, yet, little is known about how it was waged or what really happened until now. This book plunges the reader into the War On Terror where it started on 9/11/2001 in Afghanistan. This is the story of how only a few hundred men, operating from a secret Special Forces base, changed the course of history in Central Asia and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than 90 days. A clean and very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
Synopsis
In January 1964, Robin Moore went to Vietnam. He had attended Jump School at Fort Benning—with the special approval of President John F. Kennedy—and was the first and only civilian ever allowed to go through the grueling Special Forces qualification course at Fort Bragg. The result was The Green Berets, a bestselling book about a unique and remarkable group of fighting men. Robin Moore then went on to write three more books about the war in Vietnam. He has also written several novels, including The French Connection ; a book about terrorists in South Africa; and an exposé of the smuggling of nuclear arms from Russia after the Communist era.
