About the Book (Excerpts and Info)
Increasingly exasperated at an ever-changing world that no longer resembles the one he
was raised in, Tony Battagia starts a journal to cope with the growing frustration that now
controls his life, documenting everything that’s wrong with the “new America” in his
eyes.
Set shortly after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, American Infidel, the first installment of the
trilogy, explores the mind of a seemingly normal, middle-aged man—a man desperate to
find meaning in his life and to “make a difference” in the world, beyond his business

2. career. He’s desperate for his divisive, manipulative and impotent government to regain
sanity and desperate for his country to repay the murderers who changed the landscape of
America and the world after 9-11.
American Infidel is a brutally honest, politically incorrect, darkly comedic and disturbing
overview of what can happen to a man who is sick and tired of being sick and tired with
the world he lives in and its evil hypocrisy. The actions he’s willing to take to “right the
ship/reverse the whip” render this seemingly normal everyman unrecognizable, even to
those who know (or knew) him. Is Tony Bataggia a hero or a disturbed heretic? It all
depends on one’s point of view.
174 pages in length, American Infidel: The Story of a Good, Bad Boy is being
aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the action and adventure
fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker &

About the author:
Tom Baglio has spent the majority of his career as a sales and marketing professional in
the paper and imaging industry. American Infidel is his debut novel, the first installment
of a trilogy. Born in Rochester, New York, Tom was educated in the bosom of the
Catholic Church, attending St. Rita’s Elementary school and McQuaid Jesuit High
School. He went on to graduate from the University of Dayton, with a bachelor’s degree
in marketing. He credits his tenacity to survival techniques learned at St Rita’s, where he
received daily beatings from the nuns, most of which came from Sister Teresa Patricia
(aka Attila the Nun). His mental toughness was challenged at McQuaid, where the
Jesuits implemented psychological torture (in lieu of the nun’s physical beatings) and
mandated a minimum three hours of written homework every night. The final portion of
Tom’s training took place at the University of Dayton, where he was forced to endure
four years of study while under the influence of some of the most extreme intoxicants
known to mankind. After twelve years of intense training, Tom entered the working
world. Tom is married, has two children, six grandchildren, and two Jack Russell
Terriers.
