Makes it Real June 16, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The photographs are amazing. This book is telling the story from "ground zero" in Iraq of the heroic men and women we have serving and giving their lives for our freedom. I am purchasing one each for two men that I am very proud of who served there, and one for my son who may go soon to either Afghanistan or Iraq.

This is a great book about people who truly believe in what they do. You will like it no matter what your politics. Maybe it will help people realize what the military is realy all about. Oliver North is truly one of our great heroes himself, although someone should tell him he is not in the Corps anymore and he should go home and "sit on the porch". I'm sure his wife would agree. He has done more for our country than any other ten men, but he is a great storyteller and I love reading his books.

This is a well written, easy read. Really gives you a fresh outlook on what is going on in the trenches of the war. Oliver North should be a National Treasure.
Wonderful Book! June 11, 2008

Normally I would not choose to read a military/war book. I purchased this book for my teenage sons because I had heard so many wonderful reviews about it. When it came in the mail, I peeked inside and the pictures were so compelling, I started to read it. I didn't want to put it down! Before long I had read the whole book and I loved it!!!! It was refreshing and also eye opening to hear about what it's been like in Iraq from someone who has actually spent so much time there up-close and personal. Thank you Oliver North for sharing so eloquently the reality of the amazing sacrifice our troops (and their families) make for us every day! Also, thank you for reminding us why they are there!!! Listening to the main stream media has become akin to reading the "National Enquirer" while standing in the check out line. Since reading this book, I have a new perspective on the war and our heroes!
 A Must Read: American Heroes June 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Purchased as a gift for a Mom with two military sons, I found it a quick, compelling read. One of the most important books I have read in recent times. Real. Factual. Balanced. Documented and true. All those things we don't get in slanted media soundbytes. It is also emotional: heart-warming and heart-breaking, and creating within a sense of pride, respect, thanks, and hope.
