"One of the most thoughtful and honest accounts ever written
by a young Army officer confronting all the tests of life."
-Bob Woodward In this surprise bestseller, West Point grad,
Rhodes scholar, Airborne Ranger, and U. S. Army Captain
Craig Mullaney recounts his unparalleled education and the
hard lessons that only war can teach. While stationed in
Afghanistan, a deadly firefight with al-Qaeda leads to the
loss of one of his soldiers. Years later, after that
excruciating experience, he returns to the United States to
teach future officers at the Naval Academy. Written with
unflinching honesty, this is an unforgettable portrait of a
young soldier grappling with the weight of war while coming
to terms with what it means to be a man.
