[Jessica Trounson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was enjoyable and the story was told well. I was however very disappointed to find out it is a fiction novel though and I felt the “first hand account” on the blurb indicated this was non-fiction. Still a good story and I learned things I didn’t know, such as about Flail tanks etc.
