About this listen

 This is the personal side of battle, where emotion, courage, and strength are stretched to the limits.

In one of the most compelling combat narratives ever written, Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, an Army infantry platoon leader in Iraq, gives a teeth-rattling, first-hand account of 11 straight days of heavy house-to-house fighting during the climactic second battle of Fallujah. His actions in the firefight, which included killing five insurgents in hand-to-hand combat, earned Bellavia the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and New York State's highest military honor, the Conspicuous Service Cross. He has been nominated for the Medal of Honor and for the Army's second-highest combat medal, the Distinguished Service Cross.

Gritty, authentic, poetical, smart and raw. This book is for any man from the military or who holds the military in high esteem. Or can be read by anyone who wants a real account of what it was really like “in the shit” in Iraq, as these men and this soldier was on the very front line fighting for the respect of the men next to him.

A fantastic memoir
