I Am Soldier of Fortune

This is a limited edition autography copy of I Am Soldier of Fortune.

This is the incredible inside story of Robert K. Brown, the soldier-turned-journalist who not only founded Soldier of Fortune magazine but also an entire rogue warrior community.

Brown—a former Green Beret whose bizarre military career saw him get kicked out of Special Forces, not once but twice, and complete the Command and General Staff College without s security clearance—finally found his true calling as a publisher. In 1975 he sold his half of Paladin Press to his partner, Peder Lund, and launched Soldier of Fortune in his basement. In his upstart magazine, Brown pushed the bounds of journalism with his untamed brand of reporting—with a camera in one hand and a gun in the other. His wildly popular, notorious magazine became an icon for action-seeker in the United States and around the world.

In his long-awaited book, Brown takes readers into combat zones around the globe, where he and his daring combat journalists risked their lives for a story or a cause. Brown's gonzo journalists hooked up with anti-communist guerrillas or freedom fighters, often training them and then fighting alongside them in Rhodesia, Afghanistan, Burma, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Croatia, to name just a few hot spots. No war was too dangerous or too far-flung for Brown and his soldiers of fortunes as long as the cause was just and needed to be reported.
