( ) Once in a while I pick up one of the memoirs (mostly war) to read. This was a good read about brave men and women who served our country. At the same time it reminds me of how lucky I am to live in America. The ending gets very emotional. When Staff Sergeant David Bellavia went back afterwards just made me cry. I don't know or could comprehend what they go through but I thank them for things they do. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In November, 2004, a U.S. infantry squad in Fallujah plunged into one of the most sustained and savage urban battles in the history of American men at arms. Ssg. Bellavia and his men confronted an enemy who had had weeks to prepare, booby-trapping houses, arranging ambushes, rigging entire city blocks as explosive-laden kill zones, and even stocking up on steroids. Entering one house, alone, Bellavia faced the fight of his life against six insurgents, using every weapon at his disposal, including a knife. Bringing to life the terrifying intimacy of hand-to-hand infantry combat, and populated by a well-drawn cast of characters, this is more than just another war story. The book develops the intensely close relationships that form between soldiers under fire, in a harrowing story of triumph, tragedy, and the resiliency of the human spirit.--From publisher description.
