Raider: The True Story of the Legendary Soldier who Performed More POW Raids Than Any Other American in History
By: Charles W. Sasser


Galen Charles Kittleson was slight, modest, and born to wage war. The son of an Iowa farmer, Kittleson volunteered in 1943 and caught the eye of his commanders. By 1945, Pfc. Kittleson was selected for the Army's smallest elite unit, the Alamo Scouts. With U.S. forces pushing back the Japanese in the Pacific, the Alamo scouts unleashed legendary raids deep behind enemy lines, including the liberation of over 500 starved, beaten prisoners of the Bataan Death March in the Philippines. For Kittleson, a career as a raider had just begun... Charles W. Sasser chronicles the remarkable journey that was Kit Kittleson's courageous life in the service of his country. Now a veteran after twenty-five years of first going to war as a boy, Kittleson volunteered for one last mission-the most extraordinary and daring POW raid ever attempted by secret American Special Forces in Vietnam... Author Biography: Charles W. Sasser is a decorated Vietnam veteran and Green Beret, and is one of today's most respected military and true crime writers. He has authored more than a dozen books, including Taking Fire and One Shot, One Kill.
