- Who was Richard Flaherty?
- He was a 4-foot-9 American who became a decorated Green Beret with two tours in Vietnam, then reportedly worked as a mercenary and on classified assignments. He was killed in a hit-and-run in Miami.
- Is this a full biography or a mystery?
- Both. It follows Flaherty from Vietnam to Iraq and Venezuela, and it investigates the circumstances of his death, which was never solved.
- Who wrote it?
- Neil L. Yuzuk, the Miami police officer Flaherty confided in ten days before the killing. Doug Stanton, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, endorsed the book.
- Does it cover his Vietnam service in detail?
- Yes. His two tours and his time leading soldiers as a Green Beret are central to the book, alongside his later work abroad.
- Is it suitable for someone new to Vietnam War history?
- It works as an entry point because it is a personal narrative rather than a campaign history, but it is not a broad overview of the war.
