James Henry Webb Jr. (born February 9, 1946) is an American politician and author. He has served as a United States Senator from Virginia, Secretary of the Navy, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, Counsel for the United States House Committee on Veterans' Affairs and is a decorated Marine Corps officer. In the private sector he has been an Emmy Award winning journalist, a filmmaker, and the author of ten books. In addition, he taught literature at the United States Naval Academy and was a Fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics. The author was an Annapolis graduate, and served nine months in the field in Vietnam as a platoon and company commander. He was wounded twice, and was one of the Marine Corps' most highly decorated Marines, receiving the Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, plus unit and campaign awards. With extraordinary skill and realism, the author evokes the peculiar character of America's longest, most costly, and most controversial war. Fields of Fire brilliantly expresses man's basic ambiguity about war: the realization of war's danger and destruction contrasted with the grisly attraction of war as man's ultimate game, the maximum test of survival.
