...sometimes just a couple jump out and grab my interest. Of these two, I have BANK'S BANDITS. Damned near collapsed laughing while I read it. The 82nd Airborne ate chicken dinners every Sunday...right up until the hungry Green Berets stole the live chickens.

Bank's Bandits
Edward F. Fitzgerald
BANK'S BANDITS relates the birth of the Green Berets and the coming of age in the army of James Fitzpatrick. It moves from 1950s Boston to Indiantown Gap, through Jump School and on into Special Forces. With James and his A-team we discover the fearful thrills of night jumps, the rigors of survival problems and of unconventional warfare, of stealing "aggressor" rations, of hitting "targets of opportunity," of running one half step ahead of the angry 82nd, and the hilarious complexities of raising a local army in the Georgia mountains. The authentic, never-before-told story of Aaron Bank's "originals" in action. Read Author Interview.

This novel, I haven't read, but I'm gonna. The premise fascinates me. What do you do if you're getting younger rather than older...and just how young are you gonna get? Back to your own birth? Then what? Hah!
