A great book for many reasons. I find it incomprehensible that anyone would severely diss this book based on grammatical ills. Good thing he did not review Huckle Berry Finn. I prefer to comment on what is good about this book, I will start simply with what I 'like'. I liked the background/history/technical info he provided though I knew 99% of it already. I liked that the writer was not a chest beater ego driven guy with an agenda about social or political or whatever that he would constantly muddy the story with. That seems to be fairly common now in first person combat books (I read though, that publishers actually encourage that because it supposedly helps sales). I liked the matter of fact description of the frequent action. I like the post military tansition, which I know can be hard for anyone. The one knock on this book by this reviewer and I just throw it out as thought. But with a professional co-writer, this could be a slick, glossy, thick, well promoted major book that could evolve into a movie. But then...it might not be the same book.
