Synopsis

Chief Warrant Officer Gary O'Neal is no ordinary soldier. For nearly forty years, he has fought America's enemies, becoming one of the greatest Warriors this nation has ever known. Part Native American, O'Neal was trained in both military combat and the ways of his native people, combining his commitment to freedom with his respect for the enemy, his technical fighting skills with his fierce warrior spirit.

From his first tour in Vietnam at seventeen to fighting in both Gulf wars, O'Neal was nothing less than a super soldier. A minefield of aggression bordering on a justice-seeking vigilante, O'Neal kept fighting even when wounded, refusing to surrender in the face of nine serious injuries and being left more than once. O'Neal earned countless military honors as a member of the elite Army Rangers corps, a founding member of the legendary first Department of Defense antiterrorist team, a member of the Golden Knights Parachuting Team, and more, devoting his life to training the next generation of soldiers. His unbelievable true stories are both shocking and moving, a reminder of what it means to be a true American hero.

American Warrior will serve as inspiration for American men and women in uniform today, as well as appeal to the countless veterans who served their country alongside O'Neal.

Best book of this genre I've ever read. The only thing I didn't like about Gary's American Warrior book is it wasn't long enough. Also (but this is selfish) it made me realize how much a warrior I am not. Nevertheless, it is the single best book of it's genre I've ever read (and I've read literally d......more

As a young boy, Gary O’Neal knew he didn’t fit in. He ran away from home, hoping to escape his step mom and father. One day, Gary stole his cousin’s identity papers and enlisted in the military as an older man named Butch O’Neal. Gary eventually got busted and kicked out of the military because of......more

Goodreads review by Les on December 24, 2017

While I have read several books, I haven't read a more vivid and riveting account of the trials and terrors of Vietnam than what is described here. O'Neal joined the service at age fifteen with a borrowed identity and an unusual determination to serve his country during war. Gary O'Neal's career and......more
