This book is particularly addressed to the common soldier, but in a war where the front line may be an office building in New York, a commuter train in London, or a shopping mall in the mid-west, it is important for the common citizen. Every soldier needs this book. To prepare for combat. Every veteran needs this book. To understand and resolve the combat experience. Every one who loves a soldier needs this book. To understand what they go through. Every citizen needs this book. To understand what they ask their soldiers to do.
