Industry Reviews

He lucidly recounts the intensity of battle and the pain of losing comrades. For Smithson, the war is a source of personal enlightenment, and this memoir is a remarkable, deeply penetrating read that will compel teens to reflect on their own thoughts about duty, patriotism and sacrifice. (Memoir. YA)--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Smithson avoids writing either prowar propaganda or an antimilitary polemic, providing instead a fascinating, often humorous-and occasionally devastating-account of the motivations and life of a contemporary soldier.--Publishers Weekly
Unflinchingly honest.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
A tough but powerful look at one man's experience.--School Library Journal (starred review)
