Warrior: Frank Sturgis---The CIA's #1 Assassin-Spy, Who Nearly Killed Castro but Was Ambushed by Watergate
The press called him a "real-life James Bond." Fidel Castro called him "the most dangerous CIA agent." History remembers him as a Watergate burglar, yet the Watergate break-in was his least perilous mission. Frank Sturgis--using more than 30 aliases and code names--trained guerilla armies in 12 countries on three continents and spearheaded assassination plots to overthrow foreign governments including those of Cuba, Panama, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. Warrior follows the shocking, often unbelievable adventures of Sturgis, brought to life by his nephew, Jim Hunt, who lived with Sturgis, and his co-writer, Bob Risch. Also included are never-before-seen personal photos of Sturgis and his compatriots. Frank Sturgis was well-versed in a life of familiar to world leaders and underground kingpins, to spies and couterspies... Warrior is his story.

I am soo disappointed in this. Repetitive, jumps from third person narrative to first person. Poorly researched. I mean really? his military records are gone? No its called the FOIA. While interesting to hear that Frank Sturgis supposedly taught Che and Fidel everything they knew. Not really supported by anything.
I do find the life of Sturgis to be interesting, especially if he did actually steal the planes from Fidel as well as used the Beards money to finance attacks against him. I do find some of the book to be well out of left field. I mean really? The only one who could pull off killing Kennedy was Sturgis? Riiiight.
The topic is something that i would love to see a serious researcher tackle, although i doubt it will happen. This book glossed over his WWII record, made a big deal that he supposedly worked for the Zionist movement, which in itself is illegal. US Citizens cannot legally spy or assist other countries in espionage. That alone is worth loss of citizenship as well as dishonorable discharge etc. While i do believe that he may have gotten the short end of the stick for watergate, due to politics, egos and not being thorough about anything. Sturgis seemed to have done way to many things that are questionable. While he may have been a patriot at heart, i do think the author as well as the publisher has overstepped its boundaries in claiming that he was the CIA's #1 assassin-spy. I mean really? This guy wasnt formally trained, according to his own story he picked it up along the way. As for ready to kill the Beard, well if he hated him that much why suddenly wait for the green light when everything else he does is without authority?
All in all this book is a waste of time, i strongly suggest waiting for something better written about Frank Sturgis to come out or if its Watergate/Cuba there are other better written books out there.

I hope my nephew will write a fictional and glorified account of my life someday.
This PR biography attempts to re-write history, ignoring some of the most basic and important items in the life of Frank Sturgis, including an affair with Morita Lorenz, who plays a central role. The writing is hyperbolic, and often blatantly inaccurate.
Frank Sturgis failed at killing Castro, which was his main goal in life. He failed at the Watergate burglary, which is why he is most known. If he was involved in killing JFK, it may sadly be the one thing he successfully accomplished.
I'm glad I got this from the library, so I didn't pay anything to read it.

Crazy book. Not so much written as dictated by a couple of guys as if they were telling you this yarn over a couple of beers. Repetitive, poorly researched, biased, chock full of factual errors...and fascinating. Doubt Sturgis was ever the CIA's #1 anything, but he led a heck of a life. And he apparently did have access to a lot of important people. Despite the writing you have to wade through, it is amazing to read just how much 20th Century history this guy was associated with. A testament to a species of "action" men who seem to have passed from the scene. It's sad, in the same way that it's sad that we no longer are capable of launching our own astronauts into orbit, and that we can no longer buy Lawn Darts, or carry handguns (or nail scissors) onto airplanes. We have lost something in the process even if, in the big picture, we're better off for it.

Even though I disagree with Frank Fiorni(Frank Sturgis) assessment that Fidel was a Socialist then turned communist(there is evidence from Fidel's Involvement in the late 40's in the riots in Bogota,Colombia that he was always besides being for Fidel a Card Carrying Believing Marxist-Lenninist Comrade.)However,he is right in saying that Che(a Coward and Mass Muderer,Frank Trained him In Guerrilla Warfare)and Raul were always Reds.And other than Saying the Cia got Che, It did but the execution was by the Bolivian Army at the Request of the Bolivian President,not by The Cia or By Felix Rodriguez-Read Shadow Warrior By Felix-.(I met felix very nice guy and he said he felt sorry for Che even if he was an Evil person,the way he found him he said.)The book is still a Great Read,Frank should have been made/should be made an Honorary Cuban,at one point he was with Fidel and even though he is standing over a Massgrave of Batista Followers(castro had mock trials)and the photo on the cover of him and Che,I like the fact he became an Ardent Anti-Communist and Anti-Castro Man,He is a Warhero, His involvement or the Truth Behind "Watergate" is also covered and explained that he and the others though it to be a National Security matter and were Fooled by The Highers up,There are some conspiracy Theories(I am not a fan of these) in here,but the book is throughout The Story of a Great Man,Raised In Good Catholic Beliefs, and a Hero for "La Causa Cubana".Highly Recommended Read.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Like many people, I have at least a mild fondness for adventure novels [1] as well as adventuresome true-life stories [2], and this is definitely an adventuresome real-life story. It is, however, for all of its panache and adventure a story that is somewhat troubling as well, both on strictly personal as well as societal grounds. This is not the fault of the authors, who engage in their task with the rigor of historians and with the honesty of friends and family members seeking to honor a brave man after his death with the truth, at least so far as it can be understood. Nor is it the fault of Frank Sturgis himself, a man known by many names, as would befit someone who lived in the shadowy realm of spies and intrigue that would be all too familiar to fictional heroes from James Bond to the spy who came in from the cold. The tale is a Cold War tale of considerable skill, and despite the book’s 300 or so pages, it is clear that there is more that could have been told had the evidence been available. The book is certainly a “true lies” story, and has more than a few elements of a conspiracy tale, but although the authors make considerable efforts to nail down the truth, they make no pretense to an absence of bias.
The contents of this book are at least as straightforward as they can be given the cloak-and-dagger subject matter, at least when taken on a chapter by chapter basis, but the book as a whole is organized in a very puzzling way. After a prologue that introduces Frank Strugis in jail over the Watergate break-in, which, as the authors helpfully note, was his least dangerous mission operationally, but the only reason he is known if he is known at all [3], the book begins in a chronological fashion for the first six chapters, which cover the first third of the book, starting from his childhood ambitions at being a priest to his experience as a marine raider during World War II, to his experience in spycraft in postwar Berlin, his early efforts to support Fidel Castro against the Batista regime, which led the brave man, who had endangered his citizenship to help Castro as a populist military leader, to violently oppose Castro as the regime went more and more Communist, to the point where he was a key operative in the fiasco of the Bay of Pigs invasion, which appears to have soured him on Kennedy as well. The book then looks at his official missions in the 1960’s and early 1970’s as well as containing two lengthy chapters that take up about a third of the book about the operation and aftermath of Watergate, where Sturgis was played for a patsy thanks to some turncoats among the CIA-led group. The last third of the book goes back to give two possible views of Sturgis’ role in the assassination of JFK, his efforts at aiding anti-Communism in Angola, and his obsession with Cuba until the end of his life, and contains Jim Hunt’s personal look at his beloved uncle.
There are at least two ways in which this book is troubling. For one, Frank Sturgis himself shows up as having suffered greatly from PTSD as a result of his experience behind the lines in desperate guerrilla combat on the Pacific front of World War II. Later in life, he appears to have been seen as a success story, but only out of a radical compartmentalization of his mind between a loving husband and father and a man who never could entirely settle down and continually went abroad in search of dangerous missions where he could kill bad guys with impunity, a veritable license to kill. Given that this man is viewed as a success story from PTSD, one does not want to see what failure looks like. The other troubling aspect of this book is the way that it shows a dark and unseemly underbelly of American political culture. Strugis blended easily with the mob bosses of Tampa, Pittsburgh, and other cities, was a vocal supporter of the anti-Communist anti-Castro cause in Miami, and was willing to engage in numerous and criminal efforts at gunrunning and private warfare, often with the slightest cloak of legality because of his role as a CIA highly skilled operative who somehow managed to be honorably discharged from three branches of the military in the decade after World War II.
Readers of this book, if they are not caught up in the real-life grit and glamor of Sturgis’ life, may find themselves able to empathize with the wreckage of his parents’ marriage when he was a child, with his casual involvement in all kinds of assassinations and guerrilla efforts, with the authors’ obvious ax to grind against Judge Maximum Sirica for depriving Sturgis and his co-defendents of their civil rights in search of political grandstanding, or with the authors’ gentlemanly disagreement about the full extent of Sturgis’ involvement in the JFK assassination and its similarities with the political assassination of Nixon. In reading this book, one feels strangely unsafe at the extreme level of treachery engaged in by those who consider themselves patriots. Even the book’s homey touches of beloved pet cocker spaniels and the uxorious claimed loyalty of Sturgis to his patient and long-suffering wife cannot rid the reader of this book of a great sense of unease about the state of the moral and political order of the nation we live in.

This book is about a legend in the subject's own mind. And perhaps the co-authors'. And perhaps even a few others. But he's really not all that. This book is poorly researched, is largely hearsay, is mostly guided by the nephew of the subject, who lived with him for awhile and is one of the co-authors, and seems spurious at best.
Sturgis joined the Marines in WWII and fought in the Pacific, winning several decorations. He was later stationed in Europe after the war. This is where he began spying for the Zionist movement for Israel, pre-Mossad, something which would have been illegal and would have resulted in dishonorable discharge at best and perhaps even loss of his citizenship. After leaving the Marines, he joined the Navy and the Army, although in what capacity, I'm not sure. The book states he served in all four armed services, but he did not serve in the Air Force, one of a number of factual mistakes made by the authors.
Following his military career, Sturgis, who's real name was Fiorini and who changed his name to suit his circumstances some 33 alleged times opened up several bars, but grew restless, so he became a mercenary and started becoming involved in several South and Central American country's military efforts, both in terms of training and arms supplying. At some point, he became interested in Cuba and was put off by the dictator there and intrigued by the new rebel, Castro, who promised reform and democracy. So Sturgis went off to offer his help to Castro. He trained his rebels, supplied arms and ammunition, an airplane and boats, and helped Castro and Che take over Cuba. A famous picture of Sturgis holding a rifle and identified as a captain in Castro's army standing on a mass grave appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper, which later got him into trouble. When he returns to America, he was stripped of his citizenship, and held for trial. His Florida senator got him off. He returned to Cuba, retained his status in the army, was given control of the air force, and was then made the gambling czar. In this capacity, he met all the mob bosses, many of whom he pissed off, most of whom he forced back to the US. Still, he seemed to be on good terms with them. During this time, he was approached, apparently, by a CIA agent who asked him to spy on Castro and supply them with any information about communism or anything else that could be indicting. Since Sturgis was extremely anti-communist, he agreed. And he was becoming nervous. It seemed Castro was backtracking on his promise for democracy and was filling his cabinet with communists. Che played a big role in this. Sturgis thought it might be time for him to head back to Miami. But first he contemplated assassinating Castro. It wouldn't be the first time he'd done such a thing, apparently. He was, after all according to the book, the CIA's "#1 Assassin-Spy," and someone Castro later called the CIA's "most dangerous agent." He apparently had at least four opportunities. On page 80 in the book, it states "Throughout his anti-Castro career, Frank participated in more than 150 air operations and 60 boat incursions. As Frank put it, these missions were done both 'with the green light and without the green light'." So one of my biggest questions about the book is, at some point, Sturgis is asked why he didn't pull the trigger and he replied that he never got the green light. So if he hated Castro that much, why suddenly wait for the green light when everything else he does is done without any authority? That makes utterly no sense at all. It sounds like a bad cop out and I don't buy it.
In 1959, Frank leaves Cuba for Miami, where he sets up an anti-Castro operation, where he sends in teams of people, including himself, to disrupt, antagonize, breed anti-Castro resentment, etc. It barely ever works. He does this for the rest of his life.
Much later, he is hired to commit the Watergate burglary, where he is caught and goes to prison. He allegedly does this as a CIA operative, along with other CIA operatives, most of whom are Cubans who the CIA are just dying to hire to join the CIA fresh off the boat (sarcasm intended) when Sturgis remains an independent contractor his whole career and is never an actual employee of the Agency.
One thing that's interesting about the book is the Kennedy assassination conspiracy. Apparently there are those who believe Frank was involved and indeed was the "only one who could pull off killing Kennedy." Um, right. Yep. Apparently, because of his Cuban connections, his mob connections, and his right wing CIA connections, all of whom wanted Kennedy dead, he was the one to pull it all together and pictures show him as one of the tramps on the grassy knoll. The two co-authors offer their own interpretations, one of which places him in Dallas on hand and ready to pull the trigger, and the other of which states that he had to have been in Miami through an eyewitness account, but that he could have overseen everything and indeed, probably did. If this is true, it's likely the only successful thing he ever did, as he failed at unseating Castro and he failed at Watergate. Now, he did help assassinate a couple of small time banana republic dictators, apparently, so I guess that's something, but for a man who considered himself a true patriot, he sure did a lot of unpatriotic things, including hating Kennedy for life after the Bay of Pigs incident, which he apparently trained the men for, and including virtually everything else he did.
Enough. It's hard enough to believe that much of this is true. If it is, Sturgis was an interesting failure. He's dead, so we'll never truly know. His nephew thinks he knows, but he doesn't -- it's conjecture. The tale is fascinating, but largely unbelievable and thus not recommended.

What an amazing book, an action packed adventure that you will not want to put down! If you think you know all there was to know about The Cold War, Bay of Pigs and Castro think again! Frank Sturgis is the behind the scenes hero who nearly took down Castro. Oh...and did I mention he was ambushed by Watergate? Unbelievable!
You will not regret picking up this book.

I liked this book. Story told by a Nephew on Frank Sturgis who clearly had a pretty incredible life. Connections to Castro, the Kennedy Assasination, Watergate, etc. Pretty incredible.
Read is solid but not spectacular.
I would say 3.5 stars.
