This memoir follows a Marine infantry lieutenant through the final weeks of a deployment in Afghanistan. As he plans the last combat operation of his tour, a night helicopter raid, he sets down his candid thoughts about fighting, leadership and the men under his command. He is blunt about his impulses, his frustrations with senior officers and the grim humour that gets him through combat. Writing with none of the polish of the officer memoirs written for civilians, he speaks directly to the enlisted men who served beside him and insists on showing war as he saw it. The result is a raw, irreverent account of one man's choices under fire and the consequences that follow.
