"American Warrior" Presages Current War Controversy

InfinityPublishing.com releases coming-of-age war novel with themes both timeless and universal.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 23, 2004 -- With America currently maneuvering the slippery slopes of U.S. military intervention and its escalating pitfalls in Iraq, comparisons with the nightmare quagmire that was Vietnam are inevitable. Dallas author James Snyders new fiction release, AMERICAN WARRIOR, examines such twin mirrors of reality, descending onto the darker underbelly of that earlier conflict to follow his handful of ill-fated soldiers to its tragic heart.

Moving beyond the standard Vietnam-fiction fare of the platoon of disgruntled, colorfully named grunts, the novel focuses instead on the more illegal aspects of that war; in this instance, the Top Secret campaign occurring across the Laotian border along the Truong Son Route or Ho Chi Minh Trail. Exhibiting their customary reticence, the American military referred to the Special Forces soldiers who participated in this secret venture as the Studies and Observations Group, or SOG. But, as the story chronicles, the same layers of public-and-media-concealing camouflage that protects the mission, as well as the strategy of limited application against an enemy of unlimited resolve, works against these highly motivated, yet unfortunate souls working the ground" when things begin to go horribly wrong.

At its center, "American Warrior" tells the gripping, coming-of-age story of Paul Brett, from his boyhood struggle for survival in a California migrant camp, to his eventual fight for his life and freedom inside a notorious military prison. In that manner, Pauls singular desire to reclaim both lost love and home is reflected in all the young warriors, past and present, America has sent out onto the world stage, for better or worse, to do Her bidding.
