“For those readers looking to become SEALs, I suggest you read this book cover to cover and then read it again…. For those readers just wanting to gain knowledge and an understanding about the SEALs and the SEAL community, there is no other book you need to read.” -- Marcus Luttrell, U.S. Navy SEAL, and <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Lone Survivor </i> “In the tradition of soldier classics like All Quiet on the Western Front, Nicholas Moore and his co-author Mir Bahmanyar unfold Moore’s raw war story of a decade of over 1,000 special operations missions and a dozen deployments into the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Run to the Sound of the Guns is the engrossing drama of Army Rangers—the training, the fighting, the brotherhood of young men in combat, of high adventure and darkest tragedy.” -- Charles W. Sasser, U.S. Army Special Forces, Author, Association of the United States Army ""Ugly, brutal, and straightforward. . . . "" -- Matt Eversmann, Author of <i>Walk in My Combat Boots: True Stories from America’s Bravest Warriors with James Patterson</i>, and Editor of <i>The Battle of Mogadishu</i> “A riveting foxhole level view of more than a decade of modern war. . . . [A] candid, but mature, account that is as entertaining as it is informative.” -- General (Ret.) Stanley McChrystal
