Stand by to Fall out P. Chadz

--A collection of memories that does more justice forthe Marine grunt than any book has done in ages. Sure, there have been tons ofbiographies written about leaders and their combat expeditions; even more thatdeal with specific battles and the glorious outcomes attain. The author choosesto write about the interaction that no training can provide. He writes ofstateside bases and far off places, of lessons learned and mysteries revealed. Most active duty grunts have seen some form of combat, evacuations orhumanitarian exercises. The author is no different. He chooses not to writeabout his awards or deployments but of the brotherhood that is built during atour, and the way the unselfish and courageous warrior heart is formed. Theauthor shares his clearest recollections that are far and away beyond thosethat any fiction writer has dreamed up or any fancy series writer has yet beenable to obtain. This then is not a book of interviews and side bars with thetop brass who point their fingers and give the order but more about then menwho take the order; learning from their mistakes, swearing and smiling as theygo.
