The Silence of War: An Old Marine in a Young Marine's War

Description

With a Foreword by Bill O’Reilly, here is the incredible memoir of a former
Marine who returns to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan three decades after
leaving the Corps. Terry McGowan had been a beat cop, a Marine captain, and a
Special Agent for the FBI before retiring at the age of fifty. But when
tragedy struck the United States on September 11th, 2001, Terry felt an
undiminished sense of duty to protect and serve his country. Six years later,
he was in Iraq as a member of a team of high ranking retired and active duty
military working for the highest level of Marine military intelligence. His
success in Iraq led to a position as a Law Enforcement Professional with the
Marines in Afghanistan. There he found himself the oldest member of a platoon
on the front line; a platoon that was understrength and under fire. While an
eighteen year old Marine can’t look at a crowd of Afghans and pick out the
guilty party, with his years of experience in law enforcement, Terry had
developed an eye for the “felony look”. His training as a Marine Officer
combined with his experience as an FBI Agent made him a unique asset as he
struggled to keep up with young Marines while they humped over the mountains.
In The Silence of War, Terry recounts the many trials of his life of service,
providing an intimate glimpse into the horrible realities of modern military
conflict. INCLUDES PHOTOS Read more
