Summary
Danny joined the Marines in 1967 and saw some of the worst fighting of the Vietnam War. He was continually bombarded by the enemy, never knowing if he would live or die. When his best friend was brutally murdered, he became angry, depressed, and numb. The only thing that could make him feel alive again was killing. He came home from the war with a bad case of PTSD and couldn't adapt to normal life. To feed his need for killing, he became a hitman for a biker gang. To justify the murders, he developed his own "Samurai Code." He admired the Warrior's Code of the Samurai. By following his personal code, he was fine. Then one day he broke his code... and it broke him. Based on a real events, this is Danny's story. The book also contains psychological insight by Dr. Carlisle.
