About the Book
Infamous Men began as a personal journal chronicling the life of Xavier Zavala during his service in the United States Marine Corps. While many Marines aspire to make an impact, most remain unsung heroes outside their ranks. This non-fictional account dives into the internal struggles of these brave men, showcasing their daily battles with survival, adaptation, and mission completion.
From the grueling rigors of boot camp to the tense moments of deployment in the Civil War in Liberia, Africa, Xavier’s story offers an unfiltered, real-life glimpse into what it means to be a Marine. His assignments span across Liberia, Italy, Spain, Greece, Morocco, Tunisia, Israel, Turkey, Algeria, and France—each location providing a new test of resilience and strength.
