About this listen
The Silent Warrior: The Price of Survival is a deeply personal memoir by Tony Guerra, tracing nearly eight decades of a life shaped by discipline, war, service, illness, and unbreakable resilience. The book is not merely a war story, but a reflection on character, endurance, and the quiet strength required to survive life’s greatest trials.
Tony Guerra’s journey begins in San Francisco, where a chance meeting with legendary martial arts master Richard “Biggie” Kim at the age of fourteen introduces him to karate—not as a sport, but as a lifelong philosophy rooted in patience, humility, and moral discipline. This foundation becomes the backbone of his character and the guiding force throughout his life.
The narrative moves through Guerra’s two tours of duty in the Vietnam War, including harrowing service as a submarine sailor and a “brown-water” Navy river patrol gunner in the Mekong Delta. Through vivid, unflinching detail, the book captures the physical danger, psychological toll, and brotherhood forged under fire. Guerra survives combat injuries, earns multiple military honors, and carries the invisible wounds of war long after returning home.
