<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Heart of a Soldier" is the extraordinary story of war, love, comradeship, danger, and heroism, told by Pulitzer Prize winner Stewart. In this personal look into the life of Vietnam veteran Rick Rescorla, readers will learn about his bravery under fire on September 11.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewart comes the extraordinary story of American hero Rick Rescorla, Morgan Stanley security director and a veteran of Vietnam and the British colonial wars in Rhodesia, who lost his life on September 11.</b> <p/>When Rick Rescorla got home from Vietnam, he tried to put combat and death behind him, but he never could entirely. From the day he joined the British Army to fight a colonial war in Rhodesia, where he met American Special Forces' officer Dan Hill who would become his best friend, to the day he fell in love with Susan, everything in his remarkable life was preparing him for an act of generosity that would transcend all that went before. <p/> <i>Heart of a Soldier</i> is a story of bravery under fire, of loyalty to one's comrades, of the miracle of finding happiness late in life. Everything about Rick's life came together on September 11. In charge of security for Morgan Stanley, he successfully got all its 2,700 men and women out of the south tower of the World Trade Center. Then, thinking perhaps of soldiers he'd held as they died, as well as the woman he loved, he went back one last time to search for stragglers. <p/><i>Heart of a Soldier</i> is a story that inspires, offers hope, and helps heal even the deepest wounds.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Humming with tension, foreign adventure, and the clash of arms, Heart of a Soldier has all the ingredients of an Indiana Jones movie.--The Baltimore Sun<br><br>Engaging and illuminating.--Jonathan Yardley "The Washington Post Book World"<br><br>Heart of a Soldier peels back many layers of human phenomena we struggle to understand: the qualities of leadership, the depths of loyalty, the dilemmas of love.--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel<br><br>The best nonfiction book of 2002.--Time<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>James B.
