Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Insight Into Their World Customer Rating:   I have read many books about the situation in the Middle East to try and understand it a little better from a soldier's perspective. This book is a great narrative on the challenges of the environment, combat, leadership, boredom, fear that are a part of the every day experience of the soldiers in Iraq. We are asking a great deal of our service members and David Finkel's story provides a great deal of insight into their lives in country and what they must confront. It certainly provides some eye opening information about how difficult life can be in Iraq, for all involved. But you are also given an opportunity to appreciate the bonds that can be created there. LBG Customer Rating: Excellent book.It gives en insight into the daily life of combat troops in IRAQ better than I have ever seen.With 4 grandsons in the army this book was very informative.I have never read or viewed any thing like this in the mainstreem press How the soldiers see Iraq Customer Rating: I've read 3 other books on the Iraq war but this is by far the best! Here you'll see the war the way the 2-16 soldiers see it. It's difficult to put down once you start reading. These kids are the bravest generation. Puts You Right In The War Like No Other Book I've Read Customer Rating: They say, "The surge worked!" Read this book to find out at what cost the surge worked. The book follows one Battalion's deployment to Iraq until its return home. Excellent writing entirely in the third person, detailed gut wrenching descriptions of day-to-day ground operations. First book I have finished in years. Broken Soldiers Customer Rating: Better title would have been Broken Soldiers. Page after page of vivid wounds, horrific death, and depression. Running juxtaposition of rosy Bush statements and soldiers' suffering made me think this book was more about the politics of the Iraq War than the soldiers of the 2-16. Missing was the part of the story how these soldiers' day-to-day suffering and courageous actions contributed to the success of the Surge. I wonder what the soldiers of the 2-16 think of "their" story? | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
