 Book about Marines January 14, 2008
Read this the week after I received it as a Christmas present. If you enjoy books about the military, battles and specifically the Marines you can't go wrong. I prefer historical accounts primarily (not first person shooter) this did a reasonable job of blending both styles without being preachy.
OUTSTANDING January 14, 2008
I am a retired Marine Master Seargeant.
It can't be written any better than the way it has been. For those that never went anywhere, never joined the armed services here is a book to tell you what the armed forces do for you. take some time and read the book, you may learn something.

As I haven't even received this product it is difficult to review. I ordered this book on 11/27/07 and it was due for delivery on 12/24/07. It was not delivered. My contact with Amazon since then has been an appalling experience with mistake after mistake. Mistakes were made on the original delivery. I was then told that a part shipment had been made ( 3 books in total). Mistakes were made on costs and on refunds and I also have 2/3 different delivery dates. In fact they made mistakes on just about everything and I will never use Amazon again
Great book. Publisher's Weekly should be ashamed...again December 7, 2007

Publisher's weekly, the anti-military idiots who write the blurbs for Amazon, has no understanding of honor and sacrifice for their country. Having served 6 years in the USMC Infantry, I give this book my highest recommendation.
Amazon should re-consider having Publisher's Weekly give these reviews. They give EVERY military book that has a positive slant a bad review.

I have a special place in my heart for this book. It is probably the closest thing I can have to an account of my nephew's death. Today, as I write this review, I am remembering the death of my nephew, LCpl Nathan R. Wood of the 3/1 Lima who died exactly 3 years ago today (November 9, 2004).
Nathan was killed by enemy fire on that first day in the battle for Fallujah. I can remember so vividly the telephone call I received shortly after 11:00 p.m. that cold, autumn night. That moment has changed my life forever.
This book is a touching memorial to all of those who fought bravely in that horrible battle, and it reminds me why I am so proud to be an American. I keep a signed copy of it on my bookshelf next to Nathan's photo and have read it several times.
For those of you who have experienced a loss such as the one experienced by my sister, I thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. For those of you who have loved ones still fighting in Iraq, my prayers are with you. Thank you to Patrick for standing "shoulder to shoulder" with these true American heroes and for this incredibly moving memorial. I will cherish it forever. Godspeed, Nathan and "Semper Fi".
Uncle Bill
