Product Description
This is the personal side of battle, where emotion, courage, and strength are stretched to the limits. In one of the most compelling combat narratives ever written, Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, Army infantry platoon leader, gives a teeth-rattling, first-hand account of eleven straight days of heavy house-to-house fighting during the climactic second battle of Fallujah. His actions in the firefight, which included killing five insurgents in hand-to-hand combat, earned Bellavia the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and New York state's highest military honor, the Conspicuous Service Cross. He has been nominated for the Medal of Honor and for the Army's second highest combat medal, the Distinguished Service Cross.

Excellent ! August 18, 2008

I have been reading history all my life concerning The American revolution, War between the States, WWI and WWII. I am a combat Vietnam veteran and have finally starting to read some excellent books of that era.
I read my first book on the War in Iraq "Monent of Truth In Iraq" by Michael Yon. His book really gave me a jump start. I am so proud of our soldiers and now I'm finally proud that I servered in Vietnam.
House to House was by far the best book on war that I've read. I felt like I was with those soldiers. This book was so well written and exciting. I have bought more copies and gave them as gifts !
Thank you for a job well Done! This book should be read by all.

One of the best books I have read in many years about the realties and randomness of the war on terror. This book brings you into to the life or death struggle for Fallujah.

Fast read, hard to put the book down, nonstop pace. The author's description of his inner struggle to "finish the job" he began in the midst of the siege was quite moving. Even more moving was the author's return back to Fallujah to honor the dead . Great book, highly recommended.
Fantastic Read!!!! July 30, 2008

I thought this book was a fantastic read and account of what took place during this squads fight in Fallujah. Thank You and God bless the men and women who bear arms for our country and who have lost their life doing so. The dedication, commitment, caring, and sacrifice that each solider has for one another is something we as common people will never understand.
