"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 2004
