The Giant Killer

 


The Giant Killer:

American hero, mercenary, spy … The incredible true story of the smallest man to serve in the U.S. Military—

Green Beret Captain Richard J. Flaherty


A tiny homeless man confesses his shocking life story to his only friend, a Miami police officer and only ten days later that man would be killed. The cop is now compelled to go on a quest to learn everything about his friend’s mysterious life and bizarre death. It would be the last investigation in the officers twenty year police career taking him down the rabbit hole from the bloody jungles of Vietnam to the dangerous streets of Iraq and Venezuela all in search of the enigmatic man nicknamed, “The Giant Killer.”

The incredible true story of America’s smallest war hero, 4’9” 97lbs, Green Beret Captain Richard J. Flaherty proves that life is stranger than fiction. If you’re a fan of true crime, espionage, war history and romance this non-stop page turner will keep you riveted.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Doug Stanton– "You are holding in your hands an amazing journey into a world of puzzles, intrigue, and mystery. Giant Killers are among us-- author David Yuzuk walked with one and returned with this tale.”

If Richard Flaherty was only the shortest man to ever be in the U.S. Army and a Green Beret, that would certainly be a unique story in itself. Flaherty was much more, though. He was a bonafide war hero and beloved leader of the men he commanded. A small stature with a oversized shadow. Yet, he was cut from the Army that was his life after two tours in Vietnam. This story documents as much as can be known about a man whose post army life was spent in a variety of jobs freelancing, alternating between classified missions conducted by the CIA and ATF.... What an interesting man and totally unique story. -John Werner, VINE VOICE
