Great Info

Great info and amazing stories. Our military men are true heroes! We should learn from their bravery, conviction and valor. A good read for any of our so-called leaders in Washington DC. Especially those who have not been over to Iraq. You will get a knowledgeable account of the political and military dealings with the young democracy plus get an understanding of the middle ages menatlity of the middle east. Great book.

Unbelieveable

As a retired Marine, I found No True Glory to be the best true war novel I have ever read. It is written in such a way that one can feel the heat of battle minute by minute, street by street. You cringe at the bad political decisions from the top down. It is the only book I have read that details battles and describes who fought in them on a name and rank
basis. It should be required reading for anyone in politics and the military.

Wonderfully written. I rate Bing West with ten stars.

Possibly the best frontline account from the war so far

I can't say enough good things about this account of the Marines & the battle for Fallujah. Author Bing West does a magnificent job of putting the reader right there, amid horror and incredible heroism. I cried at times, real tears as I tried to make my way though some passages.

While politicians, pundits, and wannabe "experts" throw ideas and opinions around, this is the real war on the ground, the end product of the Bush administration's policy. For better or for worse. "No True Glory" is a rare window into a world most of America hasn't a clue about, whether they're right or left.

From a Marine who was there...

Having been in that battle with my fellow Marines, this was a very interesting book.

8 of us got hurt on the morning of April 5th and were pulled out and sent to various hospitals across Iraq. This book gave us the opportunity to look back and see what our platoons were doing in our absence, and to get a better understanding of exactly where we were in the city.

Bittersweet book, but good for explaining things to my loved ones.

Mandatory History Lesson

Mr. West's book is not only immpossible to put down, it is exciting,gut wrenching, and at times heart breaking to read. You will run a full circle of emotions. The confusing and complex world that is Iraq is painted by Mr. West on a full canvas and easy to understand and follow. The famous expression "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" is so evident in the overall decisions that are made at the highest of levels. The brightest light shines on the commanders who lead in the field of battle and the Marines who follow that leadership and prove that their generation takes second to none. Their comradeship to each other is inspiring. This book should be mandatory reading in every history class. I salute Mr.West,and the most compelling thing about reading it is; I finished the book tuesday night and can't stop thinking about. A Must read!!!!! Don Pritzlaff- Nanuet NY
