Descripción: Críticas "A Few Bad Men is a blistering, top-to-bottom critique of how senior Marine Corps leaders (and the institution itself) completely mishandled a situation in which members of a Marine Raider unit were falsely accused of war crimes. I found myself unconsciously squirming in my chair as I read Galvin's litany of shocking examples of failed leadership and unethical behavior by senior officers that illustrate the undeniable fact that he and his men were not only abandoned by the Marine Corps, but were subjected to a politically expedient 'witch hunt' that in some ways, continues to this day. I am hopeful that current Marine Corps leaders will publicly acknowledge the innocence of the MARSOC 7, and apologize for the grave injustices these brave Marines had to endure."--Michael Ettore, retired Marine Corps Infantryman, Drill Instructor, Infantry officer, combat veteran, author, and retired from Kfor (NASDAQ: KFRC) serving in various C-level roles including: Director - Leadership Development Program, VP of Operations, CIO, and Chief Services Officer"A Few Bad Men is a journey into the mindscape of the warfighter, fought first on the battlefield, then in the court of opinion, where politicians and Monday morning quarterbacks rule. I believe that 'the use of force produces many effects, not all of which can be foreseen.' This book is a powerful depiction of combat and a battle for justice and vindication. A must-read."--Jason Van Camp, former U.S. Army Special Forces Operational Detachment A-Team leader, Combat veteran, Executive Director-- Warrior Rising, and bestselling author"A Few Bad Men reveals how the U.S. military, desperate to protect its public image at all costs, sometimes sacrifices the honor of men in combat. The country's first Marine special operations unit was falsely accused of killing Afghan civilians, then subjected to years of lies and deceit by top generals. The unit and its commander, retired Maj. Fred Galvin, were ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing, but not before their careers were ruined and their honor stained."--David Zucchino, Journalist covering the 2008 MARSOC Court of Inquiry for The Los Angeles Times"Among the many impressive military men and women I've met while producing such films as American Sniper and Flags of Our Fathers, Fred Galvin stands out as one of the most remarkable. Intelligent, honorable, and with an extraordinary list of accomplishments as a Marine, he is the real deal. His dramatic retelling of his experience as commander of Fox Company reads like a thriller--full of twists and turns--filled with unassuming heroes and deceitful villains. In dogged pursuit of justice for his Marines, Fred Galvin exemplifies the very essence of leadership and Corps Values."--Rob Lorenz, Producer and Director for films including Letters from Iwo Jima, American Sniper, Flags of Our Fathers, Mystic River, Trouble with the Curve, The Marksman, and Grand Torino"Fred Galvin's story is a page turner that reads like the fanciful plot of an A-list Hollywood movie. It's an extraordinary cliffhanger that deserves attention, and shows just how dangerous 'fake news' can be, when no one is willing to stand up for the truth. This is a cautionary tale that should be read by all who are interested in politics, war stories, courtroom drama, and international affairs as this new world we're living in, where simple lies are being propagated as the truth, is sadly not one that is going away anytime soon."--David Jung, Screenwriter and Director of films including Roam, The Possession of Michael King and Genre Summit"I appreciate the initiative when Patriots write about our military heroes. This book is an incredible account and history of the fighting spirit of the 'Marine Raiders' under fire and the relentless fourteen-year campaign by their leader to clear their names and, 'keep their honor clean.' Many thanks to Fred Galvin for enlightening us!"--Major General Paul Vallely, U.S. Army (Ret.) former Deputy Comma
