I've read a lot of military books & this book was not well written. The common phrases used throughout it were: according to, recalls, thought, remembers, thinks, maintains, confesses... Loads of needless information and most of the book's stories were taken from online posts from Jared's facebook page and memorial pages. The 1st chapters of the book are "To understand who Jared Monti was, you have to understand from whom he came." Thus long chapters and family trees starting with the great grandparents up to when the publishing of the book. Loads of needless information describing towns where everyone was born, aunts, cousins, teachers, & family friends. Apparently his men all loved him and he was a practical joker & drinker. Not a very detailed account of the battle and more about people waxing poetic about how Jared was a great guy and his jokes and hazings he performed. The last part of the book was detailed about all of the medals he won and a history lesson on how they came about. Also got political about how great the Obama's were. Not worth the time. Just go to the memorial page.
