I'd recommend reading this book, if for nothing else than for the insight in to the challenge of Ranger school and infantry platoon level operations. One the the liners on my copy of the book used the term "humble".

I found the training part of the author who is an Army office very interesting but the book started to lag toward the end which is why I gave it four stars. Still, the author was a dedicated military professional who goes through hard training and lead by example.

The global war against terrorism was the major issue of the 2004 presidential election, and while rhetoric was plentiful, reasoned discussion was scarce. What began as a police action to support the war on terror in Iraq became hopelessly politicized.
