Book Reviews of One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer
Book Review: "No BS, sir. Marines appreciate that."
Summary: 5 Stars
There's little more I can add to what other reviewers have already said of Nate Fick's One Bullet Away. All I can say is that, of the scores of military novels, memoirs, and histories that I've read over the years, One Bullet Away is one of the best, if not the best. Fick combines obviously well-read literacy, a sharp mind, and the thrills and action of the best fictional novels into a compelling meditation on leadership in the modern military. I came away from this book not only more informed about the boots-on-the-ground experience of the Iraq War, but wanting to be a better person and a stronger leader.
Highly recommended.
