I like to bring the Casca books up every once in awhile because they were such a big part of my adolescence.

Did you read this book like I did? If so, did you know that the Casca images by artist Darrel Millsap on the cover of every title were based on this photo of author Barry Sadler?

And, did you know that Special Forces Veteran Barry Sadler also wrote and performed the song “The Ballad of the Green Berets” which hit Number 1 on the charts in the Spring of 1966?

Although Sadler passed away in 1989 of complications following a gun shot wound, the Casca-series of books are still being produced.
