This book was written better than Lone Survivor. LS was so tragic, this book is focused more on what being in the military is about. I felt like I got to know Marcus more in this book. He reflects on what happened in A-stan with with a different perspective. His grief is still very present, but less raw, as if he has healed a bit. I highly recommend both of his books.
I wish a glossary of military acronyms had been included. There are so many and each is only spelled out one time. If you forget (and you will), you have to try and find the first time it appeared.
