Testosterone Driven Action! Review Date: 2008-05-15
In his book, "Commando X," Runyon details the exploits of U.S. Army Captain Rufus Bruckman during a mission of espionage in the Carribean.
It is a concise text, yet filled with references to all the things we love: Cthulhu & the Necronomicon, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo, "the gentlemen of the old school," fencing, sexy women with guns, medieval metaphysics, para-military operations, sharks, big macho men, modern pirates, explosives, Ft. Bragg, NC, special operations, SCUBA, intrigue, airborne operations, VooDoo, cigars, soldiers, rappelling, French and Spanish Language bites, islands & insurgents, ships, submarines, thugs, brandy, & action, action, action!
Ahhh, it was wonderful. After reading this book the experience made me want to pull out my vintage 1970's G.I. Joe Adventure Team action figure sets along with my wife's Barbie dolls and reenact the whole plot again!
At only 173 pages you can gobble it up on a rainy Saturday and harken back to a time when men were men and women loved 'em that way. If this is "your cup of tea" then you will not be disappointed.
By the way, I purchased a copy from the first printing of September 1967. The excerpt page inside of the front book cover was inscribed by "Nolan Babcock, C-4." Nolan, if you ever want your book back just let me know.

This is a super-helpful book!Review Date: 2001-09-29

Just as amazing...Review Date: 2008-07-15

excellent bookReview Date: 2003-07-15
when you read it you will understand why. There were a few slow parts in this book, but overall a five star. Reading
second world war books is somewhat like taking a large Jig Saw puzzle and putting it together piece by piece. After
reading over 30 W.W.II books, Body Guards of Lies put a big part of the puzzle together for me. It's unbias not like
some of the books I have read from USA authors. it's a must read ...you will not be disappointed.

One of my favoritesReview Date: 2001-09-07
The book details everything from the Carter Campaign's
bizarrely paranoid attempt to bug the Convention Hall to the strongarm tactics used by Chairman Robert Struass to control
the convention to 18 year-old delegate Clare Smith's valient attempts to track down Hunter S. Thompson. As well, we read
about future Ohio Governor Richard Celeste's endless attempts to promote his own future viability as a presidential candidate
and George Wallace's agony at fading into the background. Perhaps the most amusing sections for me were the ones dealing
with joyful convention crashed Joe Kaselask and is attempts to sneak his way onto national television.
At times
while reading this book, I had to remind myself that the events detailed within took place a quarter of a century ago. Many
of the most fascinating characters (like Hubert Humphrey, Pat Brown, Mo Udall, and Wallace)are no long with us, while other
leading characters (Celeste, Fritz Efaw) have sunk into relative obscurity. I find myself wondering what happened to some
of the non-politicians in the book. Has Clare Smith ever attended another Democratic Convention? Did Joe Kaselask go onto
crash the 1980 Convention?
Another added pleasure came from occasionally running across minor characters who would
later go on to achieve a prominence apart from their actions at the '76 Convention. A good example of this would be wheelchair-bound,
anti-war activist Ron Kovic, later to become better known as Tom Cruise but here presented as somewhat of a blowhard. Even
a pre-anchorman Tom Brokaw shows up, long enough to get into a brawl while yelling at his antagonist, "I won't forget you,
creep!"
Appropriately enough, the only character who seems to have been exactly the same in '76 as he is now would
have to be then-Governor, now-Mayor Jerry Brown. Brown, with his enigmatic presence and refusal to take anything at the convetion
too seriously, actually emerges as one of the few pure characters in the book. In fact, Brown turns out to be more Carter-like
than Jimmy Carter himself.
In the end, imagine Robert Altman directing a political convention and that's what you
have with Richard Reeves' wonderful book. Its non-fiction that reads like a brilliantly satirical novel. Last time I looked,
there were 27 used copies of this book available so take a chance and order one. You won't be sorry.
