October 12, 2001: Written by a Noble Warrior, of the Warrior Class, who knows what it's like to fight his enemy in his own backyard, and then win too. This book should be in everyone's book shelve if they want a good accounting of what war is like, it makes me feel like you're right there with the author on the ground. You can smell the elements in the air, taste the dusky air and feel the heat. When you get to the firefighting, you can almost feel the rounds going by your head, hitting upon the trees and such. You can smell the blood and grime as your friend is wounded, the rush of wanting to safe his life, at the same time wanting to make sure that you don't get hit yourself, on the other hand knowing that the mission must be accomplished at the same time. Excellently written by a very proficient author, an author who writes from experience and the knowledge of what combat is really like. This book should be a must if you're a historian, a war buff, or just curious about what combat is like. I highly recommend the book and if you ever get the opportunity to meet the author, count your blessings. I'm glad to say that I met the gentleman and he is everything that is written within his books, and then some more. Sine Pari
