John Gilstrap

Praise for Six Minutes to Freedom

"Six Minutes to Freedom is a dramatic portrayal of idealism, courage, integrity and fortitude, plus it concludes with one of the most spectacular true-life action sequences ever set down on paper. The combination of Kurt Muse’s inspiring story and John Gilstrap’s literary talents takes us behind the scenes of a revolution in the making and a nearly impossible mission bravely undertaken by America’s elite Delta commandoes. There is a lot to be proud of in this book."

—John Douglas and Mark Olshaker
New York Times bestselling authors of Mindhunter and Journey Into Darkness

"Crackles with such tension and fear that you'll read this with your heart in your throat. This is everything a great thriller should be ... but it's all true."
—Tess Gerritsen
New York Times bestselling author of Vanish

"Grabs you at the first paragraph and refuses to let go. This true story reads better than any fiction and is impossible to put down. Harrowing, entertaining, inspiring, and very, very readable."
—Col. Lee A. Van Arsdale
U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret), Squadron Commander, Delta Force
Military advisor to the motion picture Black Hawk Down

"What a read! Six Minutes to Freedom is one of those rare books that gives your heart a workout on all levels—it'll be tugged by a moving portrayal of a courageous family caught in a vortex of international politics and it'll pound relentlessly at the cliffhanger drama of survival against all odds. The story moves like lightning, the intrigues of Latin American policy at that time are skillfully drawn and author Gilstrap brings to this true-life story the keen and savvy writing style that graces his novels."
—Jeffery Deaver
New York Times bestselling author of The Cold Moon and The Twelfth Card
