Andrea's review: a journalist is embedded with the a unit of Marines, the First Recon Battalion, as the first unit in Iraq to go in and fight. He travels with them as they go on their daily missions and risk their lives to protect us at home. It's a perfectly truthful account of early fighting in the Iraq war after 9-11. No matter what your opinion is/was on the war, our military personnel is there and this is what the elite go through, everyday, for us. If you read this, you will have to agree that the Marines are truly some of the bravest, strongest, most durable people in our country. Thank God they are on our side. Evan Wright became so close with these men, that after their tour was over and his assignment was done, he remained very close with some of men in this unit. Even if you had nothing in common with them, if you saw them work and fight like he did, how could you not have anything but respect for them. Friendship probably came easily after that.
