Colonel Silverman's story describes his 3rd battalion's war in
Iraq from a firsthand perspective. If you are a history, war, or
military buff, then you will like what this book has to offer. It
helps to have knowledge of the terms and detailed information presented
here, but the writing is descriptive and real for anyone who is
just plain curious. The book follows the Iraqi insurgency of al
Qaeda in Iraq. Silverman tells of the battalion's actions, behind
the news details, and the turning point in the war that shifted
it from a failed attempt to a successful outcome.
This is a book written by the man who lived it on the front lines
and about the men who fought by his side in one of the nation's
most controversial wars. For or against it, you will support the
troops in this one, cheering all the way. Give it to someone you
love and support.
