Synopsis

Sweeping from frozen mountaintops to dusty city streets, and everything in between, this is the gripping and deeply personal account of an elite Ranger who nearly lost his life "leading the way" in America's secretive global wars.

As part of an elite special operations unit at the fighting edge of the Global War on Terrorism, Nicholas Moore spent over a decade with the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. In this compelling biography, a detailed narrative of grueling life on the ground combines with accounts of some of the most dramatic search and rescue operations of the period to tell the true story of life on the line in the War on Terror.

Charting his rise from private to senior non-commissioned officer, this title follows Moore as he embarks on a series of dangerous deployments, engaging in brutal street combat and traversing inhospitable terrain in pursuit of Taliban fighters and Iraq's Most Wanted. Including first-hand accounts of high-profile special operations missions such as the tense rescue of Private First Class Jessica Lynch and the search and rescue mission for U.S. Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell, Moore recounts, in vivid detail, the realities of life on the front line.

This would be a good book to read for anyone thinking of joining the military as it seems to paint an accurate picture. The book follows a new recruit from grade private to Sargent first class, and his several deployments to the middle east. Only twice does he keep our attention in a gun battle. Mos......more

I see a lot of negative reviews on this book and wonder what the hate is for. It's a good descriptive book about the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
