In the book War on the Run, it was clear that Rogers leadership and tactical concepts were a forerunner of the components of special forces. Whatever happened later, his FIW period is considered something of a blueprint by some. |

"Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, when it prospers, none dare call it treason". Sir John Harington. English author. As a courtier to both Elizabet Tudor and James Stuart, he had some familiarity with the subject. He's also known as the inventor of the flushing toilet. "The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates". Alexander Dumas, French author and the son of General Thomas-Alexander Dumas. Again, a man with a front row seat on the French Revolution, the Revolutionary War and the Reign of Terror. |
