Mike tells it like he saw it, with all the poignancy, terror, filth, joy, humanity and humor that goes on in war. Especially good for those of us who never have been, and never will have to be, fortunately, on the battle lines. A quick and easy read, enjoyable in spite of some gruesome content, and educational regarding actual participation in war. You'll laugh and cry.
