Police Sniper

This out-of-print book is now available in ebook form! When a desperate criminal takes innocent hostages, police SWAT teams must walk a tightrope of stress. Patience, negotiations, and prayer often fail in the face of an irrational killer--that's when the deadly cool of the police sniper must put an end to the terror. But the sniper gets just one chance--one squeeze of the trigger--and a miss can be more fatal than a direct hit, costing innocent lives. American's elite corps of police sharpshooters has kept closed ranks until now. Police Sniper captures the tension of duty on the front lnes of today's urban hostage crises. With gripping firsthand accounts of actual hostage sieges, Police Sniper takes us to the charged scenes of police stakeouts. With the snipers, we squint through rifle scopes directly into th eeyes of frantic captors...feel the wrenching terror of their victims...and witness the combination of steel nerves, razor-sharp focus, and pure adrenaline police snipers summon to carry out their missions. Police Sniper resonates with the peril of today's headlines. ($10.00)

"In this book are the stories of men who have spent nerve-wracking hours on blistering hot rooftops and in dark freezing rooms...For when the clock begins ticking down to the point where an innocent life may be lost, the single well-aimed shot of the police sniper becomes the shot that saves lives." GySgt Carlos Hathcock II, USMC, Ret. 

NOTE: Ebook version only--NOT a hard copy!

Doorway to Hell: Disaster in Somalia (Ebook form)

Spring 1993: Most of Somalia--outside of Mogadishu, was secured. Then something went drastically wrong...The mission was to feed the hungry, cure the sick, and bring peace to a country in anarchy. No formal government or organized infrastructure existed in this fourth world country governed by war lords and their armed bands of "gunmen." Operations "Restore Hope" and "Continue Hope" were planned and implemented to bring order to chaos. Unfortunately, what should have been a victory for the United Nations deteriorated into a humiliating defeat of massive proportions. Why did an American administration--and Congress--allow under-armed U.S. forces to be committed to an open-ended mission of "nation building" under the direction of the U.N. which was an entirely different mission than that of saving starving people?

WMD: Attacks on America!

By Major Frank Stolz, Jr. USMC (Ret.)

After the Anthrax scare in Washington, DC, and the deaths of the Twin Towers victims on 9/11/01, Major Frank Stolz decided to check our government’s plans and advice to civilians dealing with future incidents of this nature. As he scanned the U. S. Government websites, he was astounded to discover the information provided on WMD subjects was addressed only to first responders and our military, and even that information was woefully lacking in specifics.

Since most people are neither medically nor militarily trained, his objective was to provide a WMD document with information and advice for my family and the general public. After 18 months of research he enlisted the assistance of a good friend, CWO-4 Jim Mulloy, a highly decorated and knowledgeable Marine, and together they produced the non-fiction portion of this book.

The original WMD document then became the inspiration for the dramatic fictional adventure,  WMD Attacks on America!, now the first part of the book. In fact, since the book was finished some of the events and national terrorist alliances depicted have already occurred. We cannot be prepared if we continue to ignore all that is going on in today’s world. To order, see Major Stolz's website at www.wmdterror.com

In order for this book to be published, Craig was forced to organize his own  publishing company: "Consolidated Press .International"

"The Medusa File" truly deserves the instructions: "Burn before Reading"

Click here for a sample chapter: TWA 800

The "Medusa File" is a documentary of Governments (including our own) gone amok! It's easy enough to picture the governments of our enemies experimenting on our POWs (well documented in this blockbuster), but how about our own government conducting experiments on American GIs and civilians, some of whom were not even volunteers? How about the mind control experiments (MK/ULTRA) that grew out of an effort to understand the Communist Chinese brainwashing activities in Korea? We are still living with LSD and PCP... both concocted by the CIA in an effort to create the perfect warrior! Efforts in genetic engineering grew out of some of these efforts, and the fine art of the lobotomy was taken to new heights? Why would we have knowingly left 30,000 of our own POWs in the hands of the communists as an aftermath of three wars (yes we left some of our people in the hands of the Russians after WWII and they were supposedly our friends at that time!)? Would you like to know what happened to Pan Am flt. 103 and TWA flt. 800? Read on... What prompted the Oklahoma Bombing, and who was really responsible (if you guessed the Militias and Timothy McVeigh, guess again!)? Read the story of the Oklahoma Bombing by one of the officers assigned to the investigation... and wonder! See if you can figure out why the cover-up and by who... If you subscribe to the "accidental theory" of history, be prepared to be shaken to the bottom of your shoes! Craig's usual publishers absolutely refused to put this one on the presses... Inferred retaliation (to the publishing companies) by undisclosed sources was hinted at, but some of the more sympathetic individuals felt that the information was so important that it must be published... but that it would have to be done by someone else. Hence we now have "Consolidated Press International"... and America still survives, the rest is literally up to you!

Readers reviews  from Barnes & Noble:

A reviewer, 
Opens your eyes
This book will open your eyes to what the US government has accomplished. If you have relied on the mainstream media for most of your information on major events, you will get a whole new perspective by reading this book, fascinating and a big wake-up call.

R. S. Cole (eleventh404@aol.com), 
Another Papa Hemingway
There's no guessing why the political gut-wind in D.C. and, elsewhere, are uncomfortable with the proven, yet, seldom published revelations Roberts, so much like Papa, brings forth in the un-mistaking style of professionals - both of whom have experienced life's best...and worst, without flinching, without regret. Yes Sir, 'they' know.

Book review from Barnes & Noble:

Henry Stehle (fiddlersgreen6@earthlink.net), retired military and educator., 11/08/2004

Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks at Dealey Plaza

Throw away the "Warren Report" and all of your earlier conspiracy theories. Here's a new look at the Kennedy Assassination from the perspective of a professional. If you were given the assignment to set up a "kill", how would you have done it? What would you have selected for a weapon? How would you have planned your withdrawal? If it really was a conspiracy, would you have selected a man who had a problem just making a qualifing score on the rifle range?... using a weapon more suitable to making loud noises than being used as a precision instrument? If it was a conspiracy, ask yourself who would have benefited... and why! For you conspiracy buffs, the second half of the book is worth the price by itself. Maybe nothing has been hidden from the American People... Maybe, just maybe, they didn't know what to look for! I won't spoil the book for you, read it for yourself... and shudder...

Book review from Amazon.com:

Simply Outstanding!, February 25, 2002 Reviewer: Michael Tozer (Bloomingdale, IL United States)    Like the author, I am former military man who sensed something very ominous on my first visit to Dealey Plaza in Dallas. It felt to me like an ambush site. Indeed, this is exactly what is was, as vividly depicted in Craig Roberts' excellent book. If you want to understand what really happened on this blackest day of American history, you simply must read this book. The chances are it will go quickly for you. I ordered the book and found it on my door step on a Saturday evening. The following morning at 1:30am, I turned the final page of the narrative with the assurance that I finally understood what really happened on November 22, 1963 and, most importantly, why. In particular, I was intrigued that the author was led to investigate the facts through his warrior instincts and that his investigation led far beyond the scope of what he originally thought to be an unsolved murder. The trail of this investigation leads beyond the Mafia, the CIA, the FBI, the US military, and all of the usual suspects right up to the small group of extraordinarily powerful men who truly control this world. To Craig Roberts, Bravo Zulu! The good news is that, in the end, despite the sinister plotting of the terrible forces uncovered in this outstanding work, the good good guys will win and win huge!

JFK: The Dead Witnesses

NEW INFORMATION:  Due to the fact that this book is out of print, and the demand keeps growing, we are now offering it on this website in Adobe PDF format  for downloading for readers. After purchasing through Paypal or with your credit card (through Paypal), it will be emailed to you within 24 hours on weekdays, or Monday following a weekend purchase. THIS IS NOT A HARD COPY BOOK!

Here's a book that tells, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story!" After you've read "Kill Zone", you owe it to yourself to read "JFK, the Dead Witnesses". A mathematician was hired by The London Sunday Times in February 1967 to conduct a statistical profile on the probability of 18 witnesses connected to the JFK Assassination, having died in so short a period of time. He concluded that the probability was one hundred thousand trillion to one! As of January 1995 the list has grown to over 115... Even taking into account that some of the deaths would have occurred from natural causes, the circumstances surrounding the deaths of many of these people give you pause to consider the alternative. Follow the trail of dead bodies from the most obvious, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Jack Ruby, to several that stand the hair up on the back of your neck. Consider the death of Army Capt. Michael D. Groves who was in charge of the Honor Guard for the Kennedy's funeral. He died on 3 December 1963 one week later while sitting at the supper table... by simply falling over in his plate. The honor guard had been practicing for a presidential funeral 3 days prior to the assassination! This book is a wealth of information for JFK conspiracy researchers. It takes each witness individually (in chronological order of their death), and points out their relevance to the happenings of 22 November 1963 and the aftermath. Read about such notable personalities as syndicated columnist Dorothy Kilgallen who had interviewed Jack Ruby privately and was supposedly going to "blow the case wide open"... died of a drug and alcohol overdose within hours of submitting her last column. Her personal friend, confidant and supposed recipient of Kilgallen's notes, Mrs. Earl Smith died of a cerebral hemorrhage three days after Dorothy's death... at the advanced age of 45! Read about such notables as J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson who had much to gain personally from the demise of President Kennedy. How about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance? ... Or Congressman Hale Boggs, the only dissenting member of the Warren Commission who refused to sign the Warren Report until just before it was submitted... and who disappeared on an airplane flight in Alaska in 1972. Here's a book that will entertain you for hours and either enlighten you or confirm your worst fears. OUT OF PRINT. Check used books at Amazon.com or other used book sites on the web for used paper copies.  $12.95

Craig Roberts' year in Vietnam as a US Marine

If you're looking for a portrayal of the American Fighting Man in Vietnam that echoes Oliver Stone's idiotic movie "Platoon", this isn't it. Here's the way it really was from a man who lived it on a day to day basis. I suppose the difference is that this is a story about Marines, and they are by definition a different breed of men. Few organizations have the esprit of the U. S. Marines. The closest you can come in today's fighting forces would be the French Foreign Legion and the British Royal Marines. The five surviving Legionnaires left fighting 2000 Mexicans at Camerone, who when offered their lives with honor, fixed bayonets and charged would have understood these men. The British Royal Marine Commando heading up a muddy ditch to blow up the piers at Hungnam in Korea who, when informed by a U. S. Navy UDT man "that this is a lousy war", grinned back and replied "aye Yank, but it beats hell out of no war at all, eh what?" would have understood these men. You must understand that no Marine is ever an amateur soldier. Even if he serves a single tour, he will always think of himself as a Marine, and his eyes will moisten when the Marine's Hymn is played... he will be a Marine until the day he dies. ...And in the Ninth Marine Regiment death was always a heartbeat away. Not everyone in Vietnam was a pot smoking, surly malcontent. Many were dedicated fighting men, sent to do a job they considered to be necessary and noble. This is their story told by a man who lived it, Craig Roberts. (Note: In 1965 the 9th Marine Regiment picked up the nickname "The Walking Dead," but by 1966 it was adopted by 1st Battalion, 9th Marines. 2nd Battalion eventually was called "Hell in a Helmet," and 3rd Battalion became "The Shadow Warriors." Roberts served in 2nd and 3rd Battalions from May 1965 to May 1966. The book's title was taken from the Forward, wherein when 2nd Battalion returned from two months in the field in September 1965, personnel at Da Nang airbase remarked "you guys look like walking death."  For accuracy and historical note, this book is not the story of 1/9, but of Roberts' memoires of his service in the two sister battalions, 2/9 and 3/9).

HELLHOUND

The Airborne Terrorist Attack on the United States written BEFORE 9/11!

This is Craig Roberts' first novel, and it's a "must read" for adventure fans. This has the plausibility of Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears" coupled with the sobering reality of how vulnerable we are in a free society. Craig's many years of experience as a Police Officer are evident in the realism of the scenario. Written as only a Police Helicopter Pilot could write it, this is the story of an enraged Saddam Hussein's attempt to even the score for his crushing defeat in the Gulf War. Muslim extremists flying a stolen 'state of the art' Russian attack helicopter attempt the ultimate act of terrorism. The characters are human and believable, and the plot will make the cold chills run up and down your spine. If you like Tom Clancy, you'll love this one! (Out of print.
