Review:

"The book provides familiar and not-so-familiar sayings that capture the chaos, challenges, and sacrifices of war."--Army magazine

"Anyone who likes to accentuate a presentation or a conversation with pithy observations from some of the great and not so great minds in the military environment will enjoy this book."--Wings of Gold

"A fine collection of quotes about soldiering and the military experience makes for a recommended title for general interest audiences."--The Bookwatch
