Jay A. Stout is a retired Marine Corps fighter pilot, writer, and senior defense industry analyst. During his twenty-year Marine Corps career he flew more than 4,500 flight hours, including 37 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm.
Following his military career Stout worked for a very short time as an airline pilot before being furloughed after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He subsequently flew for the Kuwait Air Force for a year before returning to the States where he now works for a major defense contractor.
Lieutenant Colonel Stout has had six books published and has had his work appear in various professional journals and newspapers around the nation. Stout’s expertise as a tactical aviator has been recognized by Fox’s national news network. Fox hosted him nationwide as a subject matter expert twice during the invasion of Iraq.
He now lives in San Diego with Monica, his wife of 24 years, and his daughters Kristen and Katherine.
His latest work is "Slaughter at Goliad—The Mexican Massacre of 400 Texas Volunteers"
(Naval Institute Press, ISBN-10: 159114843X).
The book has already gained very positive reviews. #1 New York Times Bestselling Author W.E.B. Griffin declared:
"Jay Stout deftly details the little-known—and deeply disturbing—tale of blunder and bluff that, on Palm Sunday 1836, led to the incredible Mexican massacre of hundreds of American captives at a long-forgotten Texas outpost. Powerful and fascinating."
This book, Stout's sixth, is the first serious effort to focus solely on the events leading up to the tragedy that took place at Goliad during the Texas Revolution.
As this conflict was fought with illegal immigration (of Americans into Mexico) as one of its causal issues, it is an extremely topical book with
many parallels, juxtapositions and hooks into our immigration problems today. It is especially relevant particularly during this election year when
immigration is again a serious concern.
