Booklist Review
Moore (Strike of the Sailfish, 2023) details to great effect the heroic exploits of Vietnam War veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Special Forces Sergeant Robert Howard. With this soldier wounded 14 different times--twice in the face--and nominated for the Medal of Honor an unprecedented three times over a thirteen-month period, Howard's achievement are indeed "beyond the call of duty." What makes this book so inviting is the amount of detail Moore offers through an incredible amount of research and a seasoned approach to storytelling, from recounting Howard's hardscrabble upbringing in Alabama to his incredible wartime exploits with the Green Berets. Howard was a unique breed of hero, volunteering four times to deploy to Vietnam as part of the Special Operations Group (SOG), where he served for 40 months of high intensity combat. Moore's chronicle depicts Howard's odyssey in such detail that the reader experiences first-hand the extraordinary accomplishments of this great American hero.
