As an ex-soldier myself, I found this a great little read (not to be taken too seriously! as some have!
It's a fast page turner with a sense of humor for the holidays - want more do you want. Great well done Mr Marsh will keep an eye out for your next one.

What an interesting but extremely graphic book, great ending! I'm not surprised that it ended so bloodily.
