Rating: - AMERICAN HEROES
I am still reading this book and I love it. It is very easy to read and very informational. I want to know more about this war than what we hear on the news. I want the truth, good and bad. Our American soldies, airmen and marines are amazing. I thank God everyday for such people who are willing to put their lives on the line for us. We may not understand why they are there but they do and that is what matters. Thank you Colonel North for putting this book together.

Whether you are for or against the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, you will find this book enlightening. At best, I am proud to say that Oliver North and editor Chuck Colton did a great job of preparing this book for the American public to read. It's a shame that it won't be read by the ones that need to read it, those that see the war there as nothing more than our country being bullies, when instead we try to help those that seek the truth that can free themselves as people; people that can and want to take care of themselves and their families, to live without fear of those that suppress their very existence. Thanks to those that support our Troops and to those that write to tell about the positive (instead of just the negative) things that our military is doing and has done.

Rating: - Patriotic, but aludes to real policy problems.
I guess if you hate America, you should probably read another book, Ollie is a true patriot. Ollie makes a striking comparison to the Arm Chair quarterbacks(retired Generals) back in Washington and New York, making claims about fighting a war that is half way around the world. Over and over they were wrong. These embedded journalist, of which Ollie is a member really put their life on the line as much as the fighting men and woman. War is hell and Oliver North makes no claim to the contrary, he by no means glamorizes this horrid human experience. But like it or not WAR is just a fact of life, always has been and I suspect it always will be. He points out some of the good decisions that were made but without a big hoopla, he also points out some of the administrations fatal errors. The biggest in my mind was the policy decision to just let the enemy go off and harm us in other ways. History has shown when we put enemy troops to work rebuilding their country, they are much happier, well fed and for a small amount of money it would have saved lives and heartache. But instead, these defeated warriors went off to warlords and terrorist factions to sell their skills. If anyone thinks that Ollie is out to white wash the truth, they are sadly mistaken. The true stars of this book are of course the men and woman of our military, and the writer doesn't forget that for a moment. If you have an open mind about the invasion of Iraq and the aftermath then by all means read this book, if you have your mind already made up, don't waste your money.
