Mike Tucker, the only American counterterrorist who took down Al Qaeda inside Saudi Arabia, got the raw oral histories of the RONIN Marine scout/snipers in the hands of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI-6) in early May 2006, on return from a full combat tour of duty in Fallujah and western Iraq, attached as a counterterrorism specialist and author to the RONIN scout/sniper platoon. The voices of these American snipers were heard at the highest levels of the British and American governments 19 months before this landmark book, a work of history that made history, was first published in January 2008.-- Provided by Amazon.
