Proud Legions: A Novel of America's Next War

Начало книги

The views expressed in this book are my own and do not reflect the position or policies of the Department of Defense, the United States Army, or anyone else. The characters in this book are fictional, and any resemblance to any other person, living or dead, is pure coincidence.

I want to thank many people who helped me complete this work: Col. Henry Duran, Lt. Col. Kevin Benson, Lt. Col. David Clark, Capt. Ken Webb, Capt. David Astin, SSgt. Stephen Krivitsky, Dale Lynn, and Professor Jim Hanlon — good friends and comrades — for reviewing the manuscript and offering their insights. Thanks to Bob Kane, Richard Kane, E. J. McCarthy, and the entire crew at Presidio Press for their outstanding support. Also, to T. R. Fehrenbach for writing This Kind of War: A Study in Unpreparedness (New York, New York: Macmillan Company, 1963), one of the most stirring and thought-provoking books on war that I know. Introductory quotes for all chapters are taken from this work.
