“Martha Raddatz puts a human face on the dead and wounded during the harrowing Black Sunday (April 4, 2004) of the Iraq war. Her fascinating look at the families of those soldiers makes this a very meaningful book. I don't read much non-fiction, but I couldn't put this book down. ”

“After the Public Radio interview with the author, I immediately bought the book and read it in two days. I wept most of the way through this terrifying story. It is not for the weak of heart. It tells of unimaginable violence and hopelessness overcome by training, courage, luck, pluck, and refusal to quit. Perhaps the most moving war story I have ever read. Martha Raddatz has earned her stripes.

“I read this after I had the privilege of hearing Martha Raddatz speak in Chicago at the Pritzker Military Library. It is the first time I felt truly connected to the experience of the soldiers and their families. Martha Raddatz' writing is engaging and honest. Good read.”
