Ron Martz writes on defense issues for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. His books include Solitary Survivor: The First American POW in Southeast Asia (with Lawrence R. Bailey, Jr.; Brassey’s, Inc., 1995) and White Tigers: My Secret War in North Korea (with Ben Malcom; Brassey’s, Inc., 1996), which Publishers Weekly praised as "exciting reading." He lives in Roswell, Georgia.

“Exciting reading.”-Publishers Weekly“A remarkable story.”-Army magazine“A gripping revelation of the American-led guerrilla war deep behind enemy lines in Korea.”-Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore, USA (Ret.) and coauthor of We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young“A rare combination of an exciting adventure story, a well-documented special operations history, and a superbly written tale of war. Malcom and Martz have accurately described the missing link between World War Two’s partisans and today’s Special Forces in a way that makes Rambo-type fiction boring.”-Col. Rod Paschall, USA (Ret.), former commander of Delta Force and author of Korea: Witness to War
