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.
