Content descriptions
| Summary, etc.: | From #1 bestselling author and master storyteller James Patterson, and Matt Eversmann, First Sergeant, USA (Ret.), the decorated war hero immortalized in the film Black Hawk Down, come firsthand wartime experiences of American military. The sacrifices of service are indescribable -- except by those who have made them. Their personal stories of battlefield life reveal: - The goal to "be ready every day, every single day," -- and how that can quickly descend into chaos. - The realization that every solider must be "okay with dying, consciously or subconsciously, to be good at this job."- How "we all need to serve something bigger than ourselves." Men and women from every branch of the US military and every occupational specialty tell exactly how it feels to jump out of airplanes, to be boots on the ground, to shoot and be shot at, and to recognize that they might never get back home. "When the fear shows up," explains a Marine Corps rifleman, "I tell myself I can do it--I will do it. And I do." Walk in My Combat Boots offers the honest words of our heroes, the true stories of our sons and daughters. |
