by Marcus Hardie
Standing at a checkpoint in Israel with his assault rifle pointed over the heads of Palestinian Arabs, Marcus Hardie reminds himself, I am the good guy. Hardie was born and raised by his grandmother in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Los Angeles, a black youth stuck in the urban ghetto. Black & Bulletproof: An African-American Warrior in the Israeli Army tells the intriguing story of one man’s journey from the terrors of “thug life” to a position of honor in the Israeli military.
