The March Up 56 reviews
Ray Smith, Bing West
Pimlico, 2003
.
I have been spending the past few years intently ignoring news stories covering the events in the Middle East, not that I was not interested, but because I grew tired of body counts non-stop stories of suicide bombers and monday morning quarterbacks criticizing every action of our troops. Not saying that I believe our troops are infallible, but wishing that there was some good reported too. This ...

No True Glory: A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah 112 reviews
Bing West
audible.com
Powerful Story...very well researched giving voice to our troops
Bing West did an excellent job! I chose this book because I wanted to better understand both the Battle for Fallujah and the larger War in Iraq from the soldier's point of view. West describes the negotiations and he makes that an essential interplay with the conduct of the War. The US is lucky to have the committment of troops who fought this battle under the political circumstances they faced ...

The Pepperdogs10 reviews
Bing West
Thorndike Press, 2003
Thriller is knowledgeable, swiftly paced
Bing West has used his insider's knowledge of weapons and tactics skillfully, not overloading the reader with techno-babble, to write a brisk, knowledgeable, swiftly paced thriller that will keep you turning pages until the very end. This elitist reservist group, in top physical and mental shape, is referred to en masse as the Pepperdogs because they can run like dogs with pepper on their butts. ...

Boredom by Day, Death by Night: An Iraq War Journal 12 reviews
Seth A. Conner
Tripping Light Press, 2007
Inside look.........
Every American should read this little gem of a book. It is written by a young man who chose to join the Marine Corps and go to war for his country. It is insightful and is as much about the war raging in Seth as it is the war raging in Iraq. His "enemies within" were as great as the enemies he was fighting against in the desert of Iraq. I believe the majority of our men and women in today's ...
