Product Description
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 him 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, awarded for "extreme gallantry and risk of life in actual combat with an armed enemy force," with just four DSCs awarded since 1975. This is the personal side of the battle, where emotion, courage, and strength are stretched to the limits.

Best read this year. I could not put the book down. It is a war memoir not a literary masterpiece.

I already had a high view of infintry soldiers as I have a former Army warrior who is my partner and manages the business. My appreciaion of the training, commitment and sacrifice of the FEMF,to modify an acronym from the book, increased ten fold. Thanks David, thank you Deanna, Evan and Aiden. Exodus 15:3
Great Book August 25, 2008

This book was truly a great way to see what sacrifices our armed forces make to keep Freedom Free. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the war we have been in for the last 8 years. After reading this you will truly appreciate our military and the sacrifices they make so that we don't have to make them. Thanks again to all of our men and women of the armed forces.
An Infantryman's Memoir From Iraq August 25, 2008

Thank you SSG Bellavia for putting into words the story of the great sacrifices being made by our military in Iraq. Reading this made me appreciate those in uniform even more. This memoir was so real and so compelling, I could not put it down. For those wondering what it's like to be in combat in Iraq, this book nails it. It will make you feel like you are there. What a great book. God bless our troops and their families.
Americans - Read It!!! August 21, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
One of the most interesting and inspiring books I've read in years. It should be required reading for all Americans who have not had an opportunity to serve in the military. It makes you think about the difficult and sometimes fatal consequences our political decisions have on the men and women who wear the uniform of freedom.
