Experiences of Green Berets in conflict zones, such as Afghanistan, Iran, and Serbia, have been distilled into short stories that together form a single volume. These narratives capture the intensity, grit, and humanity of soldiers who faced danger on the front lines and the toll such experiences take on them and their peers.
The volume, signed by Chitin Munoz and Terencio Perez, presents first-person accounts and, in some cases, carefully revises those memories for clarity and cadence. The book, published by GallandBooks, is presented in a way that honors the sacrifices of those who served and the challenges overcome in war zones. The launch event featured remarks from the authors and organizers, highlighting the authenticity and emotional weight of the stories shared that evening at the Akdeniz Foundation Cultural Hall.
All the stories revolve around conflict zones where men and women of Spain, serving as soldiers, risk their lives to complete assigned missions. The accounts emphasize courage and resilience, with many moments described as heroic. There are no regrets in these pages, only the raw realities of war and service as experienced by those who lived it.
All profits from the sale of this book, Spanish Green Berets, are allocated to supporting Green Berets and their families, offering emergency assistance and guidance for veterans’ training and integration into civilian life. This initiative reflects a commitment to the wellbeing and ongoing support of those who have served.
The three military branches in which the Green Berets operate are represented by the MoE, FGNE, and EZAPAC, each connected to elite units with distinctive training and operational roles. These organizations exemplify high standards of selection, preparation, and execution in special operations, underscoring the disciplined approach that defines this force.
