Required reading

This book ought to be required reading for everyone in America. As long as America has men like Bellavia we will stand tall in the world. My only concern is that there are not enough of them around. David Bellavia is the true definition of U.S. manhood.

He loved it!

I bought this book for my husband, who was in Fallujah during the time this book takes place. He loves the book..even if it was written from an Army guys perspective (He is a Marine). He laughed out loud several times and said...You gotta listen to this. I recommend this to anyone looking for a great book on the battle of Fallujah.

Five stars is not enough

My husband was in 2-2 together with SSG Bellavia. I knew the battle for Fallujah was bloody and fierce, but thanks to SSG Bellavia I now fully understand what my husband and all the other brave men of Task Force 2-2 went through.
This book was very personal and emotional for me, but I have to say it is the best book I have ever read. After I started reading it, I could not put it down. SSG Bellavia delivers a gripping account of the fighting in Fallujah and doesn't hesitate to share his feelings and emotions with the reader. I was so drawn in by the story, I felt like I was part of Bellavia's platoon while I was reading the book. I was laughing, crying, and sweating, the hair on my neck was standing up and my heart was racing.
This book was written by a hero as a tribute to the heroes of Task Force 2-2. I salute you, SSG Bellavia!

A Truly Enlightening Memoir

Bellavia has written a gripping account of his platoon's ordeal and victory in Fallujah. He manages the difficult trick of explaining his personal emotions, the technical details of combat and modern weaponry, the complex interrelationships among squad members, the divide between field soldiers and REMFs, and the psychotic behavior of the jihadist enemy. Pulling this off is hard under any circumstances, but it is especially difficult to do so with such modesty and self-awareness.

"House to House" will rank with William Manchester's "Goodbye, Darkness" and E.B. Sledge's "With the Old Breed" as a timleless memoir of men in battle. I can pay no greater compliment than that.

Goodbye, Darkness
With The Old Breed At Peleliu and Okinawa
