Abstract:
Takes a look at the Marine Corps from the inside out in its struggle with the insurgency in Iraq. Drawing from personal experience, this book focuses on the young Marine leaders - corporals and sergeants - whose job it is to take even younger Marines into battle, close with and destroy an elusive enemy, and bring their boys back home again.
