Celebrating July 4th with an American Hero
An interview with Lt. Colonel Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) is the ultimate primary source: He has devoted more than forty years of his life to the United States military, was a member of the National Security Council staff and served as the U.S. government's counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. President Ronald Reagan described him as "an American hero. North and his award-winning War Stories documentary team have made a dozen extended trips to Afghanistan, Iraq and the Philippines to cover U.S. and allied military units and personnel for FOX News Channel. His extensive experience as a decorated military officer, counter-terrorism expert and documentary filmmaker embedded with American combat units gives him a unique perspective on the enemy we face and the qualities of those who have volunteered to protect us.
“This book is a tribute to the brave men and women I have covered in combat,” North explains, “I have the best job in broadcasting. Those who fight America’s wars are my beat. I hang around real heroes for a living . . . They wear flak jackets, flight suits and combat boots.”
North’s unprecedented access, his grasp of history, and his lucid, firsthand reports from the crucible of combat make this a stirring chronicle of courage, commitment, compassion, and faith. Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and historian Newt Gingrich has describe this work as a “treasure.” Stay tuned....
