Hackworth; Author Dedication; Prologue; Acknowledgments; Glossary and Index. "In Hazardous Duty - a real life, nonfiction thriller set in the ruins of Bosnia and the sands of Saudi Arabia, the deadly alleys of Mogadishu and the teeming streets of Port-au-Prince - Colonel David Hackworth completes a second tour of battlefield duty, this time as a war correspondent. In his hardhitting, inimitable style, he tells of the sacrifices of ordinary grunts in the Balkans, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Korea, and Haiti, and offers a tough-love critique of American military leadership, explaining America's role in new post-Cold War conflicts. Colonel David H. Hackworth is America's most decorated living soldier, with more than one hundred awards, including two Distinguished Service Crosses, nine Silver Stars, eight Bronze Stars for valor, and eight Purple Hearts, which he considers the most meaningful because, he says, "they can't be faked." More than any other military commentator, he has the trust and confidence of the millions of soldiers - from foreign armies as well as our own - who cheered every word of his widely acclaimed autobiography. A wake-up call for military reform, Hazardous Duty pulls no punches in calling America's top political and military leaders to account for selling out duty, honor, and country. Colonel Hackworth returns from America's new battlefields to report that the Pentagon is wasting billions of dollars. He offers no-nonsense solutions for streamlining the military services and rationalizing their missions to confront the new face of war. Hackworth writes in his Introduction, "All my life I thought I loved the Army. Now .I began thinking, No, I never loved the Army. What I always loved were the troops. And I love them still. I love them because they are what it's all about, soldiers on hazardous duty sharing the dangers of war, forged strong and pure and true .Becauses they do the dying. They are the absolute truth." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. [10], 350, [8] pages. Glossary. Index. Minor edge soiling. David Haskell Hackworth (November 11, 1930 - May 4, 2005) also known as Hack, was a prominent military journalist and a former United States Army colonel who was decorated in both the Korean War and Vietnam War. Hackworth is known for his role in the creation and command of Tiger Force, a military unit which was formed in South Vietnam to apply guerrilla warfare tactics against Viet Cong guerrilla fighters. Hackworth is also known for his accusation in 1996 that Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Boorda was wearing two unauthorized service ribbon devices on two of his uniform's awards denoting valor in combat. Although Admiral Boorda had served off the coast of Vietnam in the 1960s and believed he was authorized to wear the two wartime decorations for meritorious service, he did not meet the Navy's requirements. Boorda committed suicide during Hackworth's investigation. Derived from a Kirkus review: An unsparing critique of the US military as well as its industrial and political allies, from a been-there/done-that warrior. Hackworth has been in the thick of the action in the Balkans, Haiti, the Persian Gulf, and Somalia. He has also taken unsentimental journeys to Korea and Vietnam, venues in which he earned eight Purple Hearts. The colonel's first-person accounts feature hard- hitting observations on the capacities of the US military, plus recollections of his time as a front-line commander. Targets include Pentagon contractors who produce expensive weapons systems, lawmakers who support megabuck procurement programs, and senior officers with a sharper eye for budgetary advantage than for eliminating wasteful duplication. Hackworth has a thoroughgoing reform agenda, including amalgamating the National Guard with the Reserves, gearing up for brushfire belligerencies, and encouraging professionalism rather than careerism in the officer corps.
