This book became much better after a friend emailed me a list of officer rankings and numbers of soldiers in platoons vs companies, etc. I learned a lot of military lingo, but most importantly, I feel like I gained a greater appreciation for all the lives sacrificed in behalf of our country. I like books that take me out of my element (fairly comfortable, peaceful living) and provide a realistic view of historical events that were not so pleasant. The author put in extensive hours interviewing those involved and researching this subject in depth and it shows. It's interesting and inspiring....less

I obviously read this book because I have a shy child (and because I found it for $2.99 at some random bookstore, so I decided to splurge). It has some good information, but a lot of it is targeted for VERY shy children, diagnosibly shy children, which my child is not. But there were a few hints and ideas that may prove helpful in getting my son to participate more fully in social settings. It is well-written and I would probably recommend it to anyone who has an extremely shy child....less
