Feel like I was there

Great detail in different battle formations and weaponry used.

The Best of the Best

The best book I have read on the subject by far, plus I learnt so much from it. I have always had respect for our Military but this just raised it to a new level. Sean Parnell takes you right into it and blows away pre-conceived ideas. He does not rely on foul language and Rah-Rah as so many of the so called 'military writers' do (trying to be gritty and hardcore) or start you off when he was in diapers and how tough he became, but Sean just gets on with the job with the minimum of fuss, like the true professional he is. This is real courage , real brotherhood. It was hard to put this book down.
