He's fought evil, brutality and tyranny in the jungles of Vietnam, as a cop on the city streets of a major Southern California city, and in a host of god-forsaken places around the world. His friends often have very unusual names, and all remain fiercely loyal - and for very good reasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book isn't about what you think, either. Not at all. It's not just simply a series of columns John wrote for the pages of American Handgunner Magazine. They're stories, yes, but each has a meaning stronger than the words on the paper convey. Each one will drag deep-rooted, powerful memories from deep within you about things that were, or might have been.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe effect this modest book will have on you won't buff out easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBe prepared to be changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat readers say about Guncrank Diaries: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Darn it Connor, stop it-stop it-stop it... my old eyes are not as tough as they used to be.
