Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Contains an Introduction by Major Chuck Larson, a Foreword by General Tommy Franks, and an Afterword by Senator John McCain. Inscribed and signed by Major Chuck Larson on the half title page. The inscription reads: To…Admiral Sullivan, Thank you for your tremendous service to our nation. America remains the land of the free because of men like you and those on these pages. Chuck Larson, Riga, 2008. Charles W. 'Chuck' Larson Jr. (born April 1, 1968, in Newton, Iowa) is the former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the US to the Republic of Latvia. President George W. Bush appointed Larson to the President's Advisory Commission for Drug Free Communities, on which he continues to serve. On November 30, 2007, the White House announced that Larson would be nominated to become Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the US to the Republic of Latvia in 2008. In May 2008, Latvian President Valdis Zatlers awarded Ambassador Larson the Order of the Three Stars, which is Latvia's highest award for his service to the country. Topics covered include A Note to the Reader, Foreword, Introduction, and extraordinary, heart-wrenching, inspiring first hand accounts of true grace under fire from 29 heroic soldiers fighting the war on terrorism. Derived from a Kirkus review: Competent collection relating the experiences of soldiers in America's current wars. Larson, who served in Iraq as a legal advisor, searched out 29 men decorated for valor and persuaded them to record their stories. Most begin with a short, lucid autobiography, followed by an account of their medal-winning deeds. All behaved valiantly, many receiving crippling injuries. Most of these stories appear to have been told repeatedly; details are more coherent on the page than they likely were on the battlefield. Several chapters recount Special Forces heroism in Afghanistan as soldiers rescued trapped colleagues or faced off against al-Qaeda in freezing winter atop the country's daunting mountainous terrain. Half a dozen men fought valiantly against overwhelming odds during the March 2003 invasion of Iraq-invariably, it seems, against the Republican Guard. A medic achieved near-miracles of lifesaving in the midst of an ambush. A dozen medal-winners performed magnificently in brutal city battles or under ambush. Aware that the tape is running, these soldiers work hard to remain modest and share credit with their units. The author's good judgment in sticking to oral history is confirmed by accounts of two Medal of Honor recipients who died under fire. Larson tells their stories through interviews with fellow soldiers and family members. The soldiers are quick to declare they are fighting for freedom. They love America. They also love the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and insist the feeling is mutual. American soldiers are "brave," and the enemy is "fanatic," generally made up of suicidal maniacs from outside the country. This empathetic and realistic work will appeal to military enthusiastists and readers who enjoy precise, nuts-and-bolts description of battle action.
