A quick comment--I usually steer clear of 'war novels' but honestly, I was surprised at how much I LOVED this book. Great character development and story and historical fiction of a sort in the sense it is based upon real events and the story is superimposed on real events that occurred. For those that love war novels, there is plenty of 'tactical' info shared as well.
This was undoutebly One of the best books I have read or listened to..
