Harry McCallion's memoir follows men trained to kill, and the toll that such work takes on their minds. Written with dark wit, it looks closely at the mental workings of soldiers whose survival depends on violence, and it offers an honest account of life lived right at the edge of danger. Rather than offering simple heroics, the book dwells on endurance under pressure and on the strange mix of calm and fear that comes with it.
