Motion picture and TV Superstar Bo Derek:  "I feel so honored that Don patterned Bo Devore as a cross between me and his wife Shirley." BAMBOO BATTLEGROUND ties up all the loose ends from the previous two novels in the trilogy and is a military thriller that I could not put down. The old-fashioned romance between the main characters is refreshing and the suspense and action kept me glued to the pages. I think Don really did it with these three books.”

The Honorable Rudi Gresham, Presidential Appointee, 3-Time Special Forces Ass’n  Member of the Year, and longtime aide to LTG William Yarborough, “Father of the modern Green Berets, “My old friend Don Bendell has written three novels with the CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DETACHMENTseries which are an absolute must-read for anybody who likes military thrillers, specops, and in the middle of all that action and suspense there is even a love story for the ages. BAMBOO BATTLEGROUND is the bow on this fun little three-book package. I recommend it for every man or woman who knows what is going in the world.”
