The Golden Lions of the Nosce Hostem

By Charles L. Valenti

My son had the fortune of growing up in Italy as a military dependent. There, he learned the sport of soccer through relationships made with his Italian friends. His book All-American reveals how he used his knowledge of American sports on the soccer field in order to lead a team that would put together a streak of ten consecutive years of not losing a single regulation game by more than one goal And now, this book called The Golden Lions of the Nosce Hostem contains the military intelligence and counterintelligence with regard to strategic and tactical deployment of members of his team. This is the second half of the story, in explaining exactly how military philosophies based on actual events were used by his Grover Cleveland Soccer Team out of Ridgewood, New York City. But beware, the faint of heart. My son is now in possession of this legacy called The Golden Lions of the Nosce Hostem. With it, he can help you understand the crucial knowledge gained from knowing your opponent. We are the last of the Lions. We are the Ghost and the Darkness. Lions do not speak, but they know each other's thoughts, and these we will convey.
