Dj shows minimal wear consistent with age. Synopsis: Afghanistan and Iraq, reveals how the Corps trains its elite and offers a pointblank account of twenty-first-century battle. If the Marines are the few, the proud, Recon Marines are the fewest and the proudest. Only one Marine in a hundred qualifies for Recon, charged with working clandestinely, often behind enemy lines. Fick's training begins with a hellish summer at Quantico, after his junior year at Dartmouth, and advances to the pinnacle Recon four years later, on the eve of war with Iraq. Along the way, he learns to shoot a man a mile away, stays awake for seventy-two hours straight, endures interrogation and torture at the secretive SERE course, learns to swim with Navy SEALs, masters the Eleven Principles of Leadership, and much more. His vast skill set puts him in front of the front lines, leading twenty-two Marines into the deadliest conflict since Vietnam. He vows he will bring all his men home safely, and to do so he'll need more than his topflight education. He'll need luck and an increasingly clear vision of the limitations of his superiors and the missions they assign him. Fick unveils the process that makes Marine officers such legendary leaders and shares his hard-won insights into the differences between the military ideals he learned and military practice, which can mock those ideals. One Bullet Away never shrinks from blunt truths, but it is an ultimately inspiring account of mastering the art of war.

Diana Coe, Cover Design; Christopher Morris, Cover; Brad Wye, Maps; Robert Overholtzer, Book Design Photograph (illustrator). Previous library book. During the Persian Gulf War, the Pentagon imposed untold restrictions on the media's access to the battlefield. This book is an active account of the war, prizewinning journalist Rick Atkinson tells us of the military veil of secrecy and follows the unfolding battle every day and night to the final day, providing vivid accounts of bombs, White House strategy sessions, firefights and bitter interactions. As Atkinson expertly weaves individual stories into a thrilling epic narrative, we come to understand that the allied campaign against Saddam Hussein was a wholly different kind of war, one that transformed the very nature of modern warfare. Only after the guns fall silent can the real story of a battle be told, and in this book Rick Atkinson does full justice to our remarkable triumph in Iraq. Astonishingly fresh, powerfully written, "Crusade" is both a compelling human drama and a masterly portrait of the American military at war.
