We get the privilege of sharing in what is unspoken at the time: the doubts, the bonds of brotherly love, the daily psychological battle that all front line soldiers must face but few ever speak of.

Sean Parnell has achieved in this diary something very rarely experienced in military diaries and histories from any era. If you expect books on contemporary US military history to be all gung ho and righteous posturing, this book will be a stunning surprise. ![]()
