Richard Chapman USMC: 2nd Marine Recon Batallion

By Mr. George L Potter

This collection of five short stories traces Richard Chapman's journey from a Naval Academy graduate to a seasoned covert operative. In Rick Chapman, The Early Years , Second Lieutenant Chapman undertakes his first mission in Prague, posing as an East German and Soviet Captain to extract compromised intel assets, Songbird and Shears. Operation Iron Curtain follows his assignment to assassinate two high-ranking East German officials, thereby facilitating the fall of the Berlin Wall. In Defenders of the Pledge , Chapman infiltrates a secure Yemeni facility to investigate whether Yemen Air Force officers will defy their President's neutrality pledge during the 1990-1991 Iraq-Western coalition conflict. In Destination Ukraine, Chapman leverages his Russian language expertise to infiltrate Russian-occupied Ukraine to extract a defecting Russian General. Finally, in Recall to Danger , we see a retired Chapman, after thirty years in the Corps, drawn back for a mission uniquely suited to his skills.
