Finally, this book provides a deep and infinitely valuable insight for anyone who would strive to understand the “echoes" that resonate with all who serve."– Lt. Col. Dave Grossman (ret.), author of On Killing and On Combat.

A rock-solid description of grit and perseverance at its best."– Bing West, bestselling author of ten books on combat, Vietnam veteran, and former Assistant Secretzry of Defense for International Security Affairs under President Ronald Reagan
