A must read. A lot of detail but worth reading a second time.

A great Book...A must read...

Great open til close!

these were a great group of men i had a chance meeting with two men who were there and i salute these men who had to deal with the situation

true life soldiers! my brothers will never be forgotten!

The true Spirit of the American Soldier shines brightly throughout this book. Despite overwhelming odds and horrendous firefights these brave soldiers represent the absolute best in any military organization anywhere in the world. A tough book to read because of the heartbreaking things that they endure, but almost impossible to put down once you start to read it.

Great book. Recommend it to everyone.

If it's like the movie I'd say it is off in it's factual information. The person that wrote it had a different perspective then I did from the experience.

Entertaining, informative, stimulating, and has alot of "STUFF" that sticks with your memory....

Great Book. Detailed. True.

Great book, awesome movie

Great book, great movie. I have the hard cover edition autographed by then LTC Gary L Harrell. He later went on to be my boss at US Central Command as a Colonel, then a Brigadier General. I recently attended his retirement at Ft. Bragg where he was Magor General Harrell. We've become great friends over the years. He also performed my retirement at MacDill AFB in Dec 2007. Great story, great guy. His photos are on my profile.

Enjoy watching the movie every few months. Makes me appreciate what our troops went through then and are going through now!
God Bless-em all!

The book is even better than the movie which was outstanding.

One of the best books around! Far better than the movie.

I read this book a few years before the movie came out. I'm a slow reader and usually it takes me a few weeks to a few months to get through a book. Started this book before going to bed and didn't stop until I finished it. I hell of a book about REAL AMERICAN HERO'S. Never forget / Never forgotten... God Bless America!

great book really tells a lot about what combat is like, I think it was better than the movie

No punches were pulled in this book. Mistakes were made by our troops and they paid for them in blood. It also shows the thought processes of our leaders by taking an obvious winning of the battle and then having our troops withdrawn. The rules of engagement were ridiculous, but, that is par for a peace keeping force working with the UN. The bravery of our troops is indisputable and can never be tarnished.

one of the few books that made me cry

Never read the book, but I have the movie and have seen it several times. Excellent movie, God Bless our soldiers!

One of the best books I've read!

Great book!
