I’m reading this book right now and my mouth is hanging open. What an exceptional piece of writing. Absolutely lacking in documenting the “I’m a hero and did this” type of writing that is often common in first person combat books. Any person interested in understanding OIF from a soldier’s point of view needs to learn about Fallujah which this book covers.
