 THE STORY OF A US MARINE EOD OFFICER Oct 19, 2011
By Paolo Galeazzi
The author is a US Marine . He was an EOD officer in the Marine Corps and the first part of the book describes his work as EOD expert and his experience about explosive entry and breaching .
The second and most important part of the book describes his experience as a Marine attached to the State Department (Diplomatic Security Service) . Capt Skinner served during various deployment at the beginning/mid '80 in the Middle East (Lebanon where most of the action happened and Egypt) and other hot spots like Colombia .
How it was working in Beirut at the time - in the Military training Team of the US Embassy - is well described . It was a very dangerous place to be considering there were more than 20 armed groups in town fighting each other.
After a few years at the State Department the author was back to the Corps and was one of the developer of the concept of MAU-SOC and active in the training process in support of it .
If the reader is interested in security related matters, Middle East, and professionals at work don't miss the book- it is well worth its price .
 A walk with my dad Oct 20, 2008
By F. S. Skinner
"Stephen"
I was only 2 when my dad entered Spec Ops and intense travel to places he couldn't talk about. I saw my mom bravely crying as he walked out, afraid to look back. I never understood why! This is the 1st time I've read the book. I now understand because his book is like walking down the beach with him and having him tell his story. Yeah, he's my dad and I am proud. I feel better now that dad made me understand. Thanks Dad....Great Book!!
