[close] I've wanted to read John Basilone's story since driving past the exit of Basilone Blvd in Camp Pendleton, CA. This man is just that - a man, a leader, a war-hero, a friend, a patriot. John Basilone was courageous and fierce in his love of country and love for his brothers at arms. So while the book was mechanically not well written, the story of this man's life and service outshines any technical deficiencies.
