The book itself was a good read, but seemed like it was a little jumbled. The author clearly respects the Marines, the Corps and its traditions but it comes off as if he were one of us. That is just an opinion and might not be taken that way by others. You can't please everybody all the time. I also say the book is good because I'm biased due to my time in the Marine Corps and deployed to Fallujah with the people mentioned in this book during Phantom Fury. RIP to all who made that sacrifice, we will never forget. Semper Fi. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A riveting first-hand account of the fierce battle for Fallujah during the Iraq War and the Marines who fought there--a story of brotherhood and sacrifice in a platoon of heroes Five months after being deployed to Iraq, Lima Company's 1st Platoon, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, found itself in Fallujah, embroiled in some of the most intense house-to-house, hand-to-hand urban combat since World War II. In the city's bloody streets, they came face-to-face with the enemy-radical insurgents high on adrenaline, fighting to a martyr's death, and suicide bombers approaching from every corner. Award-winning author and historian Patrick O'Donnell stood shoulder to shoulder with this modern band of brothers as they marched and fought through the streets of Fallujah, and he stayed with them as the casualties mounted.
