Memoirs of an Outlaw: Life in the Sandbox
"Way too often our experiences are detailed by those engineering an event vice those living in the midst of it.  In Tanner's book we are presented with a first-hand account of mutual suffering and the eternal bond forged in what was the deadliest place on Earth in 2004.  A quick read that will leave you wanting more." - Sergeant Major Michael Sprague, Force Headquarters Group, USMC"From training to deployment to boots on the ground dealing with locals and IED's, we can feel the heat and sweat and fear and relief. More importantly, he describes the bonds of brotherhood that are forged under those circumstances and he does not gloss over the loss of those who will not return. This is a strictly personal account, with no political commentary. I have placed it on my bookshelf next to the collection of Ernie Pyle's dispatches from World War II called This is Your War. It worthy of its place." - Geoffrey R. Hamlin
