Written in a conversation style, this reluctant hero glossed over the excessive rigors of his training and of his suffering on the battlefield to tell stories of his being in the right place at the right time to defend his comrades in arms from a fanatical, often drugged enemy … as well as how his devotion to duty nearly cost him his family (with timely comments from his wife frequently injected). While touching at times and humourous at times, it also told of the horrors of war. In short, it was a great read! I look forward to seeing the movie.
