This book sounds so familiar, so true that it may be true. If you like military books, this is the one for you because it is set in the not so long ago past.The Department of Defense cleared it, so a good portion of it is probably true.The dialogue and repartee is written in pure military. His first page is a movie and very moving with his mother.The conversations are a little confusing, but things get serious when you land in Somalia. The list the author writes of the most dangerous cities of the world is disturbing since Detroit is on the list.Somalia has a life expectancy of 43 for the average male, he writes. When a roadside bomb goes off in this book, it wakes you up and reminds you of how dangerous life is. A couple dies in each other's arms.Photographs really break up the story, making it seem totally real. Watch out for VD!There's a picture of George Bush Sr. If you like real military reads, this is the one for you, complete with danger and bombs.
