As a fellow Marine, I would love to serve with a man of this character. He is a true warrior and defines the word leadership. This book was great and recomended to all who want to know the truth about the war our men and women are fighting.

This is a great story about one of our marines. His dedication is so sorely needed in this country. A wonderful book on his courage to continue to live a normal life.
Rated by buyers -
First, this is one of the few books among many on leadership that truly defines what a leader should strive to be, and how he/she gets there. Kasal's snippets and caveats are concise, to the point, and hard-hitting. Paper leaders need not apply in Kasal's Marine Corps.
Second, it's about time an honorable, unapologetic account of the Marines combat participation in Iraq came out. While in Baghdad I met and worked with superb Marines, from the lowest enlisted rank to 06 and a better bunch could not be found. Kasal's book does them proud.
Wonderfully written, unabashed in its patriotism, a good reminder about those who serve and maintain the brotherhood of the combat veteran, Marine or otherwise.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice, SGM, and for instilling the core of the Corps in so many courageous young men and women.

This is a book about a living hero and yet he is humble. this book should be read by all, only then will you truly understand the war.
Rated by buyers -
As the full title of this book would indicate, it not a comprehensive narrative of the battle for Fallujah in November of 2004, but rather a biography of Brad Kasal throughout his life and into his time in the Marine Corps. I think it does a good job of creating a familiarity with the man who has gone on to personify contemporary Marine Corps leadership.
