This a conservative who has actually been in combat!!!

When I first came across this book I was not expecting to become immersed as deeply as I did. Bellavia does an incredible job of fully describing the fighting that took place in fallujah. His ability to tell his story is solid. There were moments that I honestly wondered what was around the next corner. I must also give him credit by showing that liberals fight as strongly as conservatives (even if Sean Hannity wouldn't call one a great american!) Where he went wrong I believe is that he never honestly asked himself should we even be in the mess. to simply fall back on the good/bad guy stuff as much as he does is really pretty sad. If he saw things like he did when he noticed the eery similarity between his boys and two that he saw in combat this book would have easily gone down as a classic, a must read, but don't let this simple mistake deter you. This man can write and anyone who considers him/herself knowledgable about Iraq should most definately read this.

Ignore reviews from people who don't know.

After reading this book I decided to give it a rave review on SSG Bellavia for telling the TRUE Infantryman's story. When I searched the reviews I saw a 2-star & a 3-star review coming from what seems to be people that are not in the know. IGNORE THESE REVIEWS! SSG BELLAVIA IS SPOT ON!! One review talked about "overkill" because SSG B and his men call for fire on a sniper position blasting the building he was hiding in to peices. You say that this is a waste of resources...you choose...20 or so mortar rounds or the life of your comrade on your right or left. I choose mortar rounds!

If you read this book, know that it is definately the most accurate description of what an infantryman does in today's Army. It may not be Normandy, but there is also more technology in todays war (which we AND the enemy control) that can kill you or your buddy. Trust me, I too go House to House.

I commend SSG Bell for bringing our story to print!!! Fabulous book!

HOOAH!!!!

Phenomanal read!

This book is a stunning account of the Battle of Fallujah in Iraq. You see a lot of the "aftermath" of military conflict on TV and in print media, but this book gives you phenomenal insight into what's going through a soldier's mind. The author puts a lot of military jargon in the book and does a good job of concisely explaining it and putting it in context. It's one thing to read an account from an "embedded" reporter of what's happening in Iraq, but to read a well written account from a soldier's perspective is amazing. This book definitely has its share of gore, unpleasant situations, and lots of "F" bombs thrown in for good measure. Get a box of Kleenex, as you're probably going to shed a few tears as you read this book.
