AN UNCONVENTIONAL NOVEL... ABOUT AN UNCONVENTIONAL WAR.
Amerika, 1972.
Green Beret 1LT J.J. Henderson had had a semi-rough year in Vietnam,
But he found it hard to fit in with civilian life back home. To put it mildly.
So he signed up for another tour - in a different country. But... same-same war.
Praise for IMPERIALIST WARMONGER PIG of AN OCCURRENCE AT LANDING SITE-ECHO:
As an intelligence gatherer in Laos in early 1971, this story not only rings true, but brings back some vivid memories. Gwynne's novel accurately portrays the immortal frivolity of youth and the deadly hostilities in which our nation was involved a half-century ago. This may be a work of fiction, but it's 'the real deal'.
-- GORDON EVANS, Captain USMC 1965-74
P.N. Gwynne is politically incorrect to the max, but his entertaining novel certainly captures the sense of what it was like in Southeast Asia during the late 1960's and early 1970's for at least some of the 'Secret Warriors.' He tells with great authenticity the story of a young First Lieutenant at a remote fire base in Vietnam who then goes on to even greater danger when he is assigned to the Secret War in a nearby country.
- BRIAN J. O'CONNOR, Retired CIA Senior Intelligence Service officer, and former member of the National Intelligence Council.
Praise for P.N. GWYNNE
The author's sensibility, however disturbing, is always expressed with wit. Mr. Gwynne can write.
