War of Words: Memoir of a United States Marine

As one young man learns in War of Words, the truth can indeed be much stranger than fiction.

The hero of author Victor Angelo's story has a bright future ahead of him. After spending a summer on a commercial fishing trawler in Alaska, he goes on to ace his college courses at Hawaii Pacific University. That's when everything changes...

When he attends an informational meeting about CIA career opportunities, the CIA recruiter suggests the military as the first step for a potentially amazing career path. Armed only with the knowledge he gleaned from thrillers about US Navy SEALs and two years of high school Japanese, our hero begins an adventure with the US Marines that will take him across the globe. Postings in Okinawa, Thailand, North Carolina, and San Diego each bring their own experiences and setbacks. As Angelo's young marine moves through the ranks, he also deepens his spirituality and his faith in the Lord.

When a mental illness threatens to change his life's journey, he will have to rely on that faith to see him through. This inspirational fictionalized memoir shows the miracles God works in everyday life
