MULLAH’S STORM
Here’s another for everyone’s bookshelf: It’s a gutsy, gritty thriller told only as one who’s been there and done that could write it. You will long remember this terrifying, timely tale—and its terrific new writer. General Tony Zinni said of the book: “Exciting, creative, and heart-pounding ... a great survival story, superbly told.” General Chuck Horner wrote: “Like Tom Clancy, Young has an eye for detail about military equipment, operations, and thinking that will ring true with any veteran . . . his portrayal of Afghanistan is worth the read alone.” And from the Publishers Weekly review: “... believable characters and an exciting plot ... one of the better thrillers to come out of the Afghan theater.” Learn more at www.thomaswyoung.com

ISAAC CAMACHO, AN AMERICAN HERO
 Some 500 Viet Cong soldiers overran the Hiep Hoa Special Forces Camp on the night of 22 November 1963, in the process capturing four Americans, including Isaac “Ike” Camacho, an E-3 with 5th Special Forces Group. This is his amazing story of survival—written with the help of Special Forces Sergeant Major Billy Waugh, U.S.A. (Retired)—that details his being caged and chained and beaten in a Viet Cong Prisoner of War camp for more than 20 months before escaping on 09 July 1965. For four days he evaded North Vietnamese patrols hunting him. Learn more, including how to buy the book, here.

THE ONLY THING WORTH DYING FOR
THE ONLY THING WORTH DYING FOR by Eric Blehm is an extraordinary, captivating account of our heroic warriors—a remarkable U.S. Army Special Forces unit’s hard-fought success against incredible odds. It reads with the thrill of fiction—but this is the damned deadly real deal. Billy Waugh said of it: “No other book has gone to such depths in research, nor been so describing in recounting this critical mission during the earliest days after 9/11 when the U.S. Army Special Forces waged unconventional warfare in Afghanistan.” Stephen Coonts said: “…A literary masterpiece about modern war….That America has soldiers like these should fill every American heart with pride. Read this book!” Learn more here.

FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM
INTERVIEWS FOUR
Writer David Martindale recently spoke with Four leading up to the book tour for THE HONOR OF SPIES (itinerary here). He writes:
“It’s impossible for William E. Butterworth IV to talk about his life as a novelist without mentioning his famous father.
“After all, his dad, W.E.B. Griffin, the prolific author of six bestselling book series, casts a long shadow.
“ ‘Dad’s one of the masters,’ Butterworth, a longtime North Texan, says. ‘His body of work is huge...’ ”

SPECIAL OPERATORS DEFENSE FUND
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night,” George Orwell wrote, “only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
Insurgents in Fallujah, Iraq, on 31 March 2004 ambushed four Americans working for the military contractor Blackwater USA. The former U.S. Army Rangers and U.S. Navy SEALs were serving as security guards when attacked and killed. The images of these murdered men, particularly of their mutilated and burned bodies hanging from the steel superstructure of a Euphrates River bridge, are indeliably etched in our memory. (One news account can be found here.)
In the aftermath came “Objective Amber,” and into harm’s way went our elite warriors — U.S. Navy SEALs who tracked and captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, the high-value target whom intelligence said led the brutal insurgents.
In other times, the success of the SEALs’ work would’ve been considered a job well-done. But, inexplicably, these elite warriors now face assault charges — some five years after the capture — because Ahmed Hashim Abed has claimed to investigators that the SEALs punched him.
A legal defense fund has been established for these SEALs. And a website, which in part states:
This Fund was created in response to the prosecution of 3 Navy SEALs who have been criminally charged with “assault” of the alleged mastermind of the torture, murder and mutilation of the 4 Blackwater security guards (former SEALs and Army Rangers) in Fallujah on March 31, 2004. The 3 SEALs have refused Non-Judicial Punishment (Captain’s Mast), which is based on an assumption of guilt resulting in consequences that can be career changing, and have opted to take their chances with a Special Courts-Marshal. If convicted, they carry a federal conviction that will follow them throughout their lives, and punishment that can include a year detention and a separation from the service with an Other than Honorable Discharge.
