Press Release:
Bob Miller's Latest Book is Nothing Short of a Backstage Tour of the 3d Battalion, 506th Airborne Infantry, 101st Airborne Division and their Unsung Hero
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - June 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- This new book from Bob Miller, "Kill Me If You Can, You SOB" (ISBN: 978-1-58736-846-2), is the compelling story of unsung hero Lt. Col. Manuel A. Alves (Black Hawk), at LZ Betty in Phan Thiet, Vietnam. It has been embraced by the men of the 3-506th and they have endorsed it by recommending it on their websites: currahee3-506.org and currahee.org, but these two bright spots are the only two bright spots this title has had.
The author, Bob Miller, explains, "I guess I had it all wrong. I went looking for acceptance in all the wrong places and faces. I just never thought about asking the guys for help announcing the book. I assumed that the book would have to find its niche among the non-military and pretend soldiers."
"Battlefield-hardened veterans are not that talkative about their experiences. Plus, I just couldn't see them being that interested in reading what I had to say about something they had lived."
Miller continues: "It's a simple case of their respect and love for one of the most courageous battalion commanders to ever wear the 506th patch. These veterans spread the word about this book in twenty-four hours, something our ad agency and I had failed to accomplish in months."
Bob Miller Writes, publisher of unique books, is the brainchild of veteran writer and political activist, Bob Miller, who served with the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company from 1968-1969; he was shot down twice and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal.
