"In July 1983, Dr. John McClure traded his successful psychology practice and his comfortable suburban home for an AK-47 and the uniform of a Nicaraguan Contra. Owing no official allegiance, often receiving no pay, he earned the nom de guerre "Soldier Without Fortune".

Following tips from journalists, intelligence agents, and professional soldiers, McClure made contact with the legendary Commander Zero and joined his guerrilla camp deep in the jungle. Using his Vietnam combat experience, he trained and aided the Contras on night raids, ambushes, and armed reconnaissance missions. Now, in his own words, here is the action-packed, first hand account of a free-lance mercenary who put his reputation, his career, and his life on the front line for freedom."
