Robin Moore

    31. říjen 1925 – 21. únor 2008

    Robert Moore se proslavil především svými díly, která se zabývala vojenskými tématy a autentickými příběhy z války. Jeho zájem o armádní speciální jednotky pramenil z hlubokého přesvědčení pochopit, co dělá vojáky elitními. Moore sám absolvoval náročný speciální výcvik, aby mohl z první ruky popsat jejich zkušenosti, což se stalo základem jeho nejznámějších děl. Jeho psaní vyniká syrovostí a pronikavým vhledem do života a výzev vojáků v první linii.

      One night two New York narcotics detectives, 'Popeye' Egan and 'Cloudy' Grosso come across a party, whose host Patsy Fuca behaves like a head gangster. The detectives are baffled to discover that Patsy is the owner of a lowly newsstand. It seems so odd that they start to investigate, unaware that they will break the world's largest heroin network.

      "As the [al-Qaeda terrorists] charged one wall, three Green Berets leaned over the parapets. . . 'Focus, squeeze, focus, squeeze' they recited quietly . . . Each time the lifeless body of an al-Qaida terrorist would snap back through the desert air and drop onto the sandy courtyard." The war in Afghanistan was the one of the most secret conflicts in recent history; little is known about how it was waged or what really happened - until now. Task Force Dagger: the Hunt for Bin Laden plunges the reader into America's War on Terror, from top-secret meetings on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, through to the liberation of Kabul sixty-two days later and the tragedies of Operation Anaconda - as seen through the eyes of the Green Berets on the ground. This is the story of how a few hundred men changed history and destroyed a hundred-thousand-man terrorist army in less than ninety days. Fully updated to include the 2003 war against Iraq and unique accounts of SAS involvement in both campaigns.
