Notă biografică
Bob Fischer is a 1955 Naval Academy graduate and career Marine Corps officer who retired in 1982. He was Captain of Marines on the USS Saint Paul CA-73, the 7th Fleet Flagship from 1961 to 1963. At that time he also studied four guerrilla wars in Southeast Asia and was able to obtain the Malaya Jungle School Syllabus at Johore Bahru. At Camp Lejeune N.C., he later used it to establish the 2nd Marine Division Counter-Guerrilla Warfare School that trained 20,000 Marines, Navy Seals, Sea-Bees, and Army Special Forces Teams. His award-winning book Guerrilla Grunt documents this experience. From 1966 to 1968, he was a Vietnamese Marine Corps Battalion and Task Force Adviser who was called Covan (trusted friend); he then entitled his book-Covan. In 2010, he attended a lecture given by the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Association in Boulder, Colorado which motivated him to support their fledgling hyperbaric clinic as a Veteran's Advocate to assist in raising funds for veteran therapy. This effort helped with the treatment and healing of combat veterans suffering from the signature wounds of war-traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For this he was named the Veteran Advocate of the Year, 2012, by the American Legion, Colorado. His award-winning book, The Miracle Workers of South Boulder Road was coauthored with fellow Veteran Advocate, Grady Birdsong. It placed in Best Book Awards as a finalist in the Alternative Medicine category as well as placing in the Top Ten Books of the Ben Franklin Awards in 2016. It also won three first place awards at the Colorado Independent Publishers Association (CIPA) annual EVVY Awards dinner. Hardly retired, Colonel Fischer and his wife live in Arvada where he is active in Marine Corp activities. This is his seventh book.
