Though I wrote the book as harsh, no-holds-barred journalism--and I hope it stands up as such--I share the same sentiments about the "foul-mouthed, bad ass Marines" depicted..."

Evan,

You are most welcome, though I'm a bit embarrassed by the woeful inadequacy of it. I am quite possibly the world's worst reviewer. (Especially with subject matter such as this, because it's such a tinderbox of emotion for people.)

Regardless, I found your book to be heartrending and frustrating and endlessly fascinating.

Tess
