"Going to war was a finite window to touch the vanquished barbaric world modern reality has so woefully blighted out."

Joining the Marines in 2002, David Rose signed up to go fightand to go die. On this grim path-rather than finding a violent death-he would find family, purpose, and a brotherhood once longed for, almost entirely given up on, and reawakened amid the misfit tribal world of the war fighter.

Tales of Muay Thai bouts in seedy garages, a bizarre stint as a street cop, being on the other side of the badge, a veteran psych ward, and more-all weaved into an irreverent story that doesn't just define one's turbulent sojourn, but speaks of a much larger narrative about the swept-under-the-rug unpleasantries of a generation-and the warrior subculture that emerged from it.?

No Joy rips the façade off the Greatest Generation cliches, replacing them with an authentic and thoughtful approach to the unsung factors that really draw men to war. Rose possesses an artistic depth that explodes myths about the military, military family life, The Marine Corps, and the American way.
