Having purchases this book 2 days ago and already having finished it i must say that it is quite possible the best written factual millitary account i have ever read (and with my book collection that is alot of competition) I find it rare that a book actually triggers emotions within me, however this book took me all the way from exitement and exhileration to sadness and dissapointement making many other steps along the way. I not only reccomend this book to anyone intersted in military writing but also to anyone who wants to read a story of true heroism, bravery and selflessness. A true gem to be read by all!
