The year is 1961. America has a new president, named John F. Kennedy, and a new era the newspapers are calling the Dawn of Camelot. But for ten-year-old Paul Brett, dealing with an abusive father and the immigrant gangs roaming his slum neighborhood of China Slough, America is only a small, dead-end place he is struggling to survive.

That is, until the night a mysterious stranger comes out of the darkness to his rescue, and initiates a journey—an unforgettable odyssey—beyond his wildest imagination. From his unlikely beginnings in a brutal California migrant camp, into the darkest underbelly of a distant and unpopular war, to his final and, perhaps, most deadly struggle for survival inside the bowels of a near-medieval military prison, AMERICAN WARRIOR follows one young man’s breathtaking and mesmerizing journey into hell...and back.

"This book is hard to put down, and at times...the realism is startling and palpable." Kirkus Reviews

"It immerses you in a rich & violent tale of courage, skill & becoming." Rebeccas Reads

    4,0 de 5 estrellas What a read.
    Reseñado en Australia el 5 de octubre de 2021
    Formato: Versión KindleCompra verificada
    This story is incredible. Without giving too much away it follows a skinny kid living as white trash to a soldier to a special soldier and then to a soldier who has seen too much.
    There is more than a bit of Apocalypse Now, a fair bit of Full Metal Jacket, just a touch of Law Abiding Citizen and, just for kicks, throw in some Jack Reacher.
    This read takes you on a ride you will not soon forget and is one of the few books that I really could not put down.
    If you like your stories dark, if you like your stories with an intensity that ‘crams your brains’ and if you like your stories so fast and unrelenting it almost hurts to read - then grab this and stand by.
    Some of this tale is a mixture of ‘finding’ yourself while losing yourself but the main character is worthy of your time and the storyline is just a wild ride for those who expect more than just a tale.
    Wow - what a read.

    5,0 de 5 estrellas An Intense Survivor In a War Novel
    Reseñado en Estados Unidos el 18 de diciembre de 2014
    Formato: Versión KindleCompra verificada
    This war novel is a winner! It's an intense story about overcoming difficult situations, often painfully emotional, and defending one's self from the enemy. Paul Brett grows up around bullies who pick on him and make him feel helpless. As a small child, Paul senses an inner desire to find someone who will teach him how to defeat a strong enemy. He trains privately, year after year, with Draeger the old Dutchman, who pounds him with helpful drills, fighting moves, and mental perseverance. After high school, Paul joins the military and becomes a Green Beret. His callused hands and training has paid off. But he soon learns that war is more than fighting; someone is selling them out. With moles and spies and unwise leaders, he experiences losing good teammates while understanding the nature of true survival and a bigger sense of the word loyalty. He questions who has been running the lousy operations, and then he suffers through the responses. He becomes a significant 'nothing' to defeat the enemy. This book has adult content. Paul Brett is a survivor, a defender, and a flawed hero who will fight until the very end.

    James Snyder developed, in great detail, a devastating childhood for the main character. At first, he had me rooting for an underdog, and then I found myself cheering for a hero. He wrote in third person narrative using a present tense. He developed a superb war novel filled with action, violence, and adrenaline. In this book, he has mastered plot strategy, character motivation, believability, and showing the depths of war.

    5,0 de 5 estrellas A real odyssey
    Reseñado en el Reino Unido el 2 de enero de 2014
    Formato: Versión KindleCompra verificada
    I first saw this book a month or so ago as a tiny advert on a writer's forum. It had one of the worst covers I had ever seen on a book, it was billed as $0.99 and it was called American Warrior. It looked awful, and I thought, 'How bad could this be?' So I clicked on the ad link.

    Now I'm sure that, somewhere on the net, there's a whole list of dos and don'ts in marketing that says that I, the consumer, really shouldn't have been drawn to clicking that link in the first place. I mean, I really shouldn't have wanted to click that link. Not according to the experts.

    Which is why I don't have a career in marketing. I'd suck at it. But I digress.

    So anyway, I clicked the link, got past the terrible cover (which has now been changed to something a lot less crappy - no, really, the last cover guy looked like he was made of wax. And was melting), got intrigued by the blurb and was taken with the sample of writing inside.

    And I saw immediately that this was not a book to be judged by its cover. Or its cheap price.

    The novel charts the journey of Paul Brett, a kid living on the wrong side of the tracks in rural 50's America. Surviving the predations of both his abusive father and the gangs that prowl the migrant camp where he lives, Paul embarks on a life-changing odyssey that takes him from the underside of America, through the underside of the war in Vietnam, and into military prison, itself the underside of the US military. It's a harrowing journey that's packed with some of the most authentic scenes you'll ever find in a work of fiction.

    It's not an exceptionally long book, but its scope is massive, or so it feels when you're immersed in it. I mean, the sheer detail of life in a slum, of army training, of martial arts, and of war, is impressive. On one occasion the detail did stray over the line into tedium, but I was never tempted to skip parts. There's a documentary quality to the settings, like it's a memoir, and there's clearly a lot that comes from the author's own experiences. But there's also a lot that doesn't. It is a novel, and a lot of research has gone into it. You can feel it. Or rather, you can't.

    I mean, sometimes you know that an author has done a ton of research, because as a reader you're being whacked over the head with it, like they want to show you how clever they are or they have to insert it all in a really obvious way, no matter how clumsy it looks. Well, this book isn't like that. I know, as a writer myself, that this author has done a lot of research. But as a reader all I get is the sheer immersion into a scene or a setting, like I've been there before, even though it is as far from my own experiences or anything I've read as I can get. And the characters feel real too, and they appear and disappear throughout the narrative in a more realistic fashion than is normal for fiction. Meet one on a page and you really don't know whether you're going to meet them again or just hear about their rumoured demise/exit/promotion from a second-hand source. In fact, I half expect to read about them again in the local news one day.

    Paul's journey is a gritty odyssey, with a fair bit of heartache to endure, but it's not a miserabilist tale by any means. It's just too damned interesting for that. Paul starts his journey as just another dirt poor kid, but the journey he's on is very much a spiritual one, and you can't help but be moved by his hope, as much as his pain. And in fact, the biggest pain for me was in reaching the end, because I didn't actually want it to end. I wanted a postscript, with all the loose ends tied up. I wanted to follow Paul through the rest of his life. That's how much emotional investment I had in this book.

    Which is my way of saying, I really liked this book, and I recommend that you read it. It certainly has a place in the top five of my all time favourite novels. In fact, I'd love to see a movie made about it. I can already picture it as a cross between Forrest Gump, Platoon, Shawshank Redemption and the Thin Red Line. And if you think that's an unlikely mash-up, trust me when I say it works.

    This book proves it.

    4,0 de 5 estrellas Another Vietnam Story
    Reseñado en Estados Unidos el 30 de diciembre de 2013
    Formato: Versión KindleCompra verificada
    Paul is the under-sized son of an abusive father who will not allow him to read books in his own home. In a neighbourhood where low man on the totem pole gets beat down he is at the bottom of the pecking order. First day on his new paper route he finds a dead body. When an old customer rescues him from a beating and robbery in the barrio he persuades his benefactor to teach him an ancient Javanese Martial Art. The story moves on as the title suggests to see him choose the military over jail and given the period involved he ends up in Vietnam with an elite green beret unit operating in a theatre that officially does not exist. Unlike so many others he thrives on the action.

    The book makes no moral judgments in describing the action. Paul is a soldier who is good at what he does. Betrayed by his inept leaders he finds his way home and ironically into the military prison system he joined to avoid. There he is tortured and subjected to psychological warfare. The injustice of training a man in black ops and then being embarrassed to have him around outraged this reader. Another writer depicts how America botched the war in Vietnam and betrayed the soldiers it sent to wage it.
