A straightforward actioner. Well researched with lots of detail. Too much detail really as it holds up the action. But when it kicks in it really kicks in. Good read.

A highly unusual read for me but one recommended so that I might better understand modern warfare. It was helpful in understanding the type of warfare employed in today's attacks in the Middle East.
