“John Connor is a soldier, cop, father, lover of dogs, protector of the defenseless, guardian of what’s right — and a fierce foe of what’s wrong. He’s fought evil, brutality and tyranny in the jungles of Vietnam, as a cop on the city streets of a major Southern California city and in a host of godforsaken places around the world,” informs FMG Publications’ Roy Huntington.
Amazon’s #1 new release in the shooting and hunting categories, Guncrank Diaries is a compilation of Connor’s best columns featured in FMG Publications’ American Handgunner magazine. Each story, with a meaning stronger than the words on the paper convey, has the potential to drag deeply rooted, powerful memories from far within about things that were, or might have been.
In Guncrank Diaries, Connor’s thoughts, memories, wishes (and just plain, good writing) command attention — and in turn, demand sharing. Readers will no doubt be surprised when a simple story of a hungry soldier in a communist border guard unit suddenly becomes part of their everyday thoughts, sometimes for years.
“The amazing thing is most everything you read is true — or at least based on the real story,” Huntington continues. “The reason I know is because I’ve been John’s friend for almost 40 years and I was there when some of what he writes about darkened the streets. Experiencing what John later writes about is as if I suddenly had someone explain what happened to me, to us — and why.”
As Huntington warns: “Be prepared to be changed.”
Guncrank Diaries is available in both print and Kindle digital versions on Amazon.com.
