Iconic Warrior: The Most Successful Special Operation Ever Conducted
The Iconic Warrior series comprises fast-moving, informative historical fiction novels that detail the combat experiences and exploits of protagonist Jean-Paul DeBert. This is the sixth volume in the series. It recounts Jean-Paul’s involvement in what has been described as the most successful special operation ever conducted.
Many battles throughout history have been decisive and brought wars to an end. However, it is highly unusual—almost unheard of—for a single special operation to end a war. Yet the courage, genius, ingenuity, and flawless execution of General "Fightin’ Freddie" Funston’s mission to capture Filipino rebel general Emilio Aguinaldo accomplished exactly that: it ended the Philippine-American War.
This volume faithfully follows General Funston’s autobiography, which describes in detail the inception, planning, successful execution, and aftermath of that remarkable operation. Despite taking place more than 120 years ago, the mission offers enduring lessons and best practices still applicable to modern special operations.
As with every book in the Iconic Warrior series, this sixth volume remains true to its core focus on the six Es: education, entertainment, edification, enlightenment, enrichment, and the ethos of the warrior.
