Has anyone had the chance to read this book?

Leo is an old Ranger buddy of mine, so I told him I wasn't going to pay for it, he had to send me a signed copy.

But I'm interested to hear what the RallyPoint Community thought of it while I wait for my copy in the mail.

Thanks for the tip. I finished it the other day. Very powerful and intriguing book. I have read "memoirs" and such from different points of view before, but this is the first time I have read from the perspective of the medic on the ground. Again, great book and thanks for sharing.

I have not read that book. Sounds great. Another great book to read about a Marine unit in Helmand Afghanistan is A Battle Won by Handshakes: The Story of Alpha Co 1/5. Good read, and a lot of great stories. Here is a small op-ed about the book:

A battle won by handshakes

Lucas Dyer, author of "A Battle Won by Handshakes," previews his time spent in Afghanistan with the Second Marine Expeditionary Brigade and the tactics his unit employed.
