Book Reviews of Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster into Victory and Hope
Book Review: Truely unvarnished and worth reading
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone else posted here, this book is "journalism practiced by adults" or something to that effect. No Monday Morning Quarterbacks who have no idea what war is like and no desire to tell the real story. Michael is clear up front that he gives the real story, good and bad. His writing is full of life and you really can picture the courage, conviction, struggles and disappointments of those who actually fight this war. I picked this book up having never heard of the author or his blog. I am very impressed with his work and I hope he's back with more (God willing with a book about how we've won and our troops are coming home). At times the story jumps around, but overall he's locked into a progression of the war during its ups and downs. He makes it clear as well that this war was, is, and should be on terrorists, not the Iraqi people. He illustrates first-hand accounts that refute the premise that we're steam rolling over the people there and don't care what happens to them or their culture.
Now that the mainstream media magically dissolves away from Iraq to other topics (only revisiting it when something bad happens) and we're taking fantastic strides toward winning this war, reading Yon's work is a breath of fresh air!
