Danger Close is the childhood story of war correspondent Michael Yon.  

Spanning Yon’s formative years, from the devastation he felt at the loss of his mother at age seven to becoming a Green Beret at 19, Danger Close opens with a proverbial bang. In Ocean City, Maryland, the author is forced to defend himself in hand-to-hand combat and accidentally kills his assailant. 

In youth, Michael catches alligators with his bare hands in the state he loves, Florida, which prepares him well for the long years ahead downrange in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond.   

Fans of his internationally acclaimed first-person dispatches from the front lines, as well as from Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and elsewhere, should not miss the riveting story of his early life and adventures.  It is a wonder that he survived.

This is the 5th edition of his first published work.
