![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I would recommend it to any/all the overly judgmental "sideline sitters" and intellectuals who like think they can criticize our military for any "on the ground" decision.but they won't read it. I would include it on a "must read" list for all in the service as well as anyone interested, not just from the fact that it is a courageous story, but by far more important, a much better depiction of how a real battlefield dynamic can develop (and unravel). The personal stories of the individuals involved added a nice aspect to the book, and were honorable.but were bastardized by the narrator's decision to attempt bad accents. There is an element of time included in the book, which in my opinion, is invaluable to portray how quickly things can happen & go wrong (even with preparation). ![]() Incomplete and missing information, poor/missing communication, and snap decisions are a part of the real battlefield. The book separates perspectives, which I could see where someone would find that confusing from a book/story standpoint, but that separation does an exceptional job of portraying what actually happens on the real battlefield. It was hard to hear in a way, because from a hindsight perspective there were so many things that went wrong (which is what "After Action Reviews" are for), it IS tough to believe it all happened. From someone who IS military (not someone who has "read a lot" about the military) this book was exceptional. ![]()
