MATTERHORN
This novel is dedicated to my children,
who grew up with the good and
bad of having a Marine combat
veteran as a father.
Shame and honor clash where the courage of a steadfast man is motley like the magpie. But such a man may yet make merry, for Heaven and Hell have equal part in him.
Wolfram von Eschenbach

A glossary explaining slang, military jargon, and technical terms has been provided at the back of the book.
