Robert Saniscalchi Author Interview

Bullets and Bandages: Bond of Brothers is a thrilling action story following the true stories of a Vietnam veteran. What inspired you to write a book about Rob and his comrades?

This book was inspired by my older brother Patrick’s stories about his tour in Vietnam. Through his words, I was given a unique insight into what it was like for our men and the bond that grows between them as they struggled to survive.

The book is inspired by true events. What were some things you wanted to keep accurate and what were some things you took creative liberties with?

I tried to keep the battle scenes and the military logistics as close to his words as possible. Some of the non-combat scenes are from my own experiences growing up in that time in our history.

This was an overall a heartening story of friendship and faith. What were some driving ideals that guided your writing?

My love of country, my pride in my brother and our military motivated me; I had a story and it needed to be told.

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

I have a new thriller just out, and available titled Butterfly Lake. I also plan on continuing the Bond of Brothers line, with a new book about the war on Terrorism and the men and women who defend us from this evil threat.
