 January, 1990, The Muse family in the Oval Office. "Some of the Warriors in Six Minutes to Freedom carry weapons. Others are armed with ideas. The great lesson of this book is that both are necessary to prevail whether we're battling dictators like Manuel Noriega or the Global War on Terror. It's a must read for anyone interested in how Delta Force operates. --John Weisman six-time New York Times bestselling author of Direct Action "Crackles with such tension and fear that you'll read this with your heart in your throat. This is everything a great thriller should be ... but it's all true." --Tess Gerritsen New York Times bestselling author of Vanish
"What a read! Six Minutes to Freedom is one of those rare books that give your heart a workout on all levels--it'll be tugged by a moving portrayal of a courageous family caught in a vortex of international politics and it'll pound relentlessly at the cliffhanger drama of survival against all odds. The story moves like lightning, the intrigues of Latin American policy at that time are skillfully drawn and author Gilstrap brings to this true-life story the keen and savvy writing style that graces his novels." --Jeffery Deaver New York Times bestselling author of The Cold Moon and The Twelfth Card
"Six Minutes to Freedom is a dramatic portrayal of idealism, courage, integrity and fortitude, plus it concludes with one of the most spectacular true-life action sequences ever set down on paper. The combination of Kurt Muse’s inspiring story and John Gilstrap’s literary talents takes us behind the scenes of a revolution in the making and a nearly impossible mission bravely undertaken by America’s elite Delta commandos. There is a lot to be proud of in this book." --John Douglas and Mark Olshaker New York Times bestselling authors of Mindhunter and Journey Into Darkness
"Grabs you at the first paragraph and refuses to let go. This true story reads better than any fiction and is impossible to put down. Harrowing, entertaining, inspiring, and very, very readable." -- Col. Lee A. Van Arsdale, US Army Special Forces (Ret) Former Squadron Commander, US Army 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-D. (Delta Force) Military advisor to the motion picture "Black Hawk Down" |
