Paratrooper is the autobiography of a young man’s time with the famed 101st Airborne Division “Screaming Eagles.” With not the finances to finish his senior year in college and a looming draft, it leads to his enlisting in the U.S. Army. With thoughts of Officer’s Candidate School, Private Michael B. Kitz-Miller heads for a newly designed Basic Training course for soldiers planning to attend Airborne School. High performance results in Leadership School and Acting Sergeant in Advanced Infantry School. At Airborne School he is a runner-up for Honor Graduate from his original class of 1,000 soldiers. Finally, the new paratrooper boards a bus for Ft. Campbell and the 101st. His first job is as an M-60 machine gunner, scoring expert his first time on the weapons range. Numerous operations follow – Cold Eagle, Swift Strike II, Desert Strike and the surprise Operation Delawar, jumping into Iran in 1964 as part of the U.S. STRIKE Command. All produce commendations and after winning the Division Soldier-of-the-Month competition a promotion to Sergeant. He soon becomes part of the Battalion Mountaineering cadre. The rigors of Recondo School and its incredible 35 percent graduation rate follow, offering a shot at Honor Graduate. Having won Battalion and Brigade competitions, the young paratrooper enters and finds himself a finalist in the Division’s Soldier-of-the-Year competition. Tough career decisions follow. The story ends with Sergeant Kitz-Miller’s opportunity, 50 years later to compare key issues that confronted him as a soldier with those of today. The evaluation of Officers and NCOs, leadership and mentoring are but a few. His final chapters on Just War Theory and current Rules of Engagement provide provocative ideas about how to address our current policies on terrorist states. Above all, it is the story of a very successful Paratrooper that loved the Airborne Infantry.

'This is an extraordinary book. It is partly about the Falklands War itself and the terrible things that the Paras endured, and the terrible things that some of them did, but it is also about the white working class of the 1970s and why some men born into this class ended up marching across an island that most of them had never heard of. Thoughtful and sometimes heart-breaking' Richard Vinen, author of National Service Our Boys brings to life the human experiences of the paratroopers who fought in the Falklands War, and examines the long aftermath of that conflict. It is a first in many ways - a history of the Parachute Regiment, a group with an elite and aggressive reputation; a study of close-quarters combat on the Falkland Islands; and an exploration of the many legacies of this short and symbolic war. Told unflinchingly through the experiences of people who lived through it, Our Boys shows how the Falklands conflict began to change Britain's relationship with its soldiers, and our attitudes to trauma and war itself. It is also the story of one particular soldier: the author's uncle, who was killed during the conflict, and whose fate has haunted both the author and his fellow paratroopers ever since.

The trilogy ends with “Everyone Comes Home.” Jack has a serious clash with Pentagon superiors threatening to resign his commission over a debacle in Grenada. He loses men due to incompetent units, and what he considers the immoral Rules of Engagement. Jack graduates with a master’s degree from the prestigious War College, returning to the Rangers with combat operations in Panama and Somalia. When Jack has two platoons ready to take back the embassy in Iran when it is stormed by student dissidents, he is told to stand down from his brilliant plan. An operation by the Delta Force totally fails. As a new Brigadier, Jack returns to the 101st. The incompetent Orin Jensen is surprisingly promoted as commander of the division. Just as the sounds of war are heard from the Middle East, Orin collapses with acute appendicitis. Jack takes command of the division making an historic flight with 100 Apache and Black Hawk helicopters from Ft. Campbell up the Potomac River, past the Pentagon, leap frogging across the North Atlantic through Europe to Saudi Arabia, when Iraq attacks Kuwait. This action is key to thwart Iraq’s planned attack on Saudi Arabia. Jack is promoted to head the XVIII Airborne Corps. Meanwhile their different moves have allowed multiple teaching positions for Mary Clarke. Jack receives his fourth star and sent to the Pentagon where he is given a large research project to evaluate the basic military skills of all major Amy units. In the Middle East he and his driver are ambushed. While wounded he is still able to take out four enemy soldiers, saving his driver before he passes out. Jack and Mary Clarke decide to semi-retire, but Jack is offered the opportunity to teach at West Point. Four years later Mary Clarke retires as a full professor at Columbia University. The cadet corps make a special request to have a Pass-in-Review parade to honor the general, followed by lunch and a speech by Jack on a topic of his choice. In attendance are an unexpected contingency of over thirty Generals and Command Sergeant Majors, having played a part in Jack’s astonishing career. Jack delivers a surprising speech covering topics unexpected by all. Later, there is another surprise with a telephone message, asking Jack to return a call by someone that has likely read his new book Unjust War Theory and perhaps listened to his speech.

Rudolf Witzig entered the history books as the heroic captor of Belgiumês supposedly impregnable fortress Eben Emael in May 1940 _ the first time that glider-borne troops were used in the war. To many people, he is also known as the commander of the battle group that fired the first shots of the Tunisian campaign. Remarkably, next to nothing has been written about him as an individual. This biography, completed with the full support of Witzigês widow and son, is a comprehensive history of the man and also provides important new detail on the German parachute arm that he served. In the course of his service, he was awarded the coveted Knightês Cross of the Iron Cross. He could not be awarded the decoration because he had not yet earned the Ironês Crosses 2nd and 1st class _ to resolve the problem he was awarded all three on the spot. Witzig was involved in Operation Mercury, the invasion of Crete, but was injured during the fighting. After his recovery, he was sent to Tunisia where he was credited with several successful defensive actions. He ended the war in captivity, surrendering to the Allies on 8 May 1945, the day after his name was placed on the Honour Roll of the Luftwaffe. Rudolf Witzig was born on 14th August 1916 in Westphalia. His military career started in 1935 when he was accepted as an officerês candidate. He went on to win the Knightês Cross, which was awarded by Hitler personally. Witzig died on 3rd October 2001 at the age of 85. Gilberto Vilhermosa is a serving member of the US military in Yemen. This is his second book.
