Enjoyed this book to the limit. brought back a lot of childhood memories of old Floirda and 'family'. Sure Mike will go on to write many more enjoyable books.

Wow! What a tale! Yon crafts a great story out of his introduction to maturity and the military life. I was a little irritated by his jumping back and forth, but eventually I got the hang of it and found that it enhanced the story more than a straight time line would have.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone who either wants to understand Michael Yon better or who just enjoys military coming of age stories.
Viola is worth the price of the book, and it validates Yon's place on the 'favorites' bar. I look forward to the book he writes about his embeddments. His description of military training and the command operations are confidence-inspiring. He never makes excuses, while describing attribute forming events

Lack of bravado is the mark of great character, and Michael Yon has hit the nail squarely on its head. Don't expect any soldier of fortune nonsense, this book is about respect for oneself and for those in your charge, the love of a mother and zest for life. My wonderful father was a Korean War Marine who spent almost two years recovering from wounds, yet we never heard him chastise his enemy of express disdain for the Korean people, he never bragged or wore his heart on his sleeve and he loved my beautiful mother and his son's with all he had. Manhood is defined by your kindness and decency, and Mr. Yon drives this point home.
