He tells the story ...with crisp, clean, fast-moving prose, unromanticized and unsentimental, but not without affection for the men of Charlie Company. -Carl Schoettler, Baltimore Sun April 7, 2004. His straightforward, low-key account of horror, boredom, camaraderie, humor, heroism, the...turmoil...at home, and his own...discomfort at how it was being conducted, demonstrates...the experience of a typical rifle unit. -Bostonia, Spring 2004Awarded the Writer of Excellence Award for 2004 by the 199th Light Infantry Brigade Association
