One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer par Nathaniel Fick

A great memoir on becoming a Marine officer and fighting in the Iraq war. Spanning education, training, fighting, and camaraderie. Nathaniel does an excellent job explaining his journey through everything. Educational and heart wrenching.

One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer par Nathaniel Fick

When I saw this book first come out, I knew I had to read it. Sure enough, I was transported back in time to my training to become an Officer of Marines. It is uncanny how much the training has remained so similar since the 10 years before when I went through OCS, TBS, my first platoon command, and eventual deployment for Desert Shield/Storm. Actually I'm not surprised because that tradition is what makes the Marine Corps what it is. Anyway, this is a great book, brought back fond memories, and I'm glad to see Fick doing well in civilian life today.… (plus d'informations)

One bullet away : the making of a marine officer par Nathaniel Fick

One Bullet Away kertoo, miten nuoren merijalkaväen upseerin elämä muuttuu Syyskuun 11. -iskujen jälkeen. Kirja kuvaa Afganistanin ja Irakin sodan taisteluissa olleen upseerin näkökulmasta sekä sodan kauhuja että amerikkalaisten joukkojen ajoittain kyseenalaisia, jopa tragikoomista, etenemistä Irakin sodan alkuvaiheessa. Mielenkiintoista antia kirjassa edustaa myös tarkat kuvaukset merijalkaväen koulutuslaitosten sisällöistä ja metodeista.
