Description: The Devil's Secret Name by Jim Morris Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Jim Morris, a highly decorated Green Beret, spent his post-Vietnam years working as a reporter in some of the most volatile conflict areas on earth. He traveled through three continents to experience combat, savor local color, and have as much fun as possible. He found a world that seeks freedom and peace but is inevitably drawn into fresh conflicts over old issues.With nothing more than a reporters eye and a soldiers heart, he covered the times when cold wars went hot, situations that helped create both a lasting peace and the seeds of international terrorism. Years before the term "embedded journalist" was invented, he witnessed the harsh realities and hazy outcomes of guerrilla warfare.Here are the front-line reports of a seasoned reporter and soldier, from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the Middle Easts shattered peace and the violent post-apocalyptic world of El Salvador. Morris, who was almost always the only reporter present, documents more than just combat obscured by the fog of war. His amazing battlefield accounts, written while he was living among the soldiers, capture the extraordinary bravery, unwavering faith, and grim humor that all combat troops share.
