Book Reviews of We Were One: Shoulder to Shoulder with the Marines Who Took Fallujah

Book Review: Publishers Review?????
Summary: 4 Stars

I have to take exception to the poor review given to this book because of passages like the following,

"these Marines were heroes and warriors with only macho flaws, such as heavy drinking or practical joking, while their enemies are simply terrorists. ...our troops fight because they love America and their buddies, but their opponents fight because they are drug-addled, suicidal maniacs, the author forgets what every military buff knows: one cannot be a great warrior without a worthy opponent".

Obviously the reviewer failed to read this publication before giving an opinion of it. On numerous occasions in the book the author mentions the astonishment of the Marines at the tenacity of their opponents and ability to face certain death and still carry out their ambushes. While much was said of the drug use of the enemy soldiers and their ability to absorb punishment, there was also mentioned that the foreign fighters, namely Chechins, where experts at urban fighting.
I just wish that Amazon could have have found a more accurate review to highlight this publication.
