review 1: This is the story of one man's personal journey primarily devoted to his interesting and unusual education, culminating in fighting for our country in Afghanistan. While I realize it is only one man, his insights are illuminating and no doubt speak for many. I agree with what was said on the back cover that every American should read this book. There is a price paid for our safety and ease of living. Why some people are willing to step up to protect others who are weaker or less willing than themselves is answered to a degree in this book. It still is amazing and admirable to me that they do. Mullaney is one of those people. It also points out the fact that we as Americans need to be diligent as we evaluate our actions in the world.

review 2: If anyone has filled the "unforgiving minute", it is Army Captain Craig Mullaney. All-around achiever and valedictorian of his high school class, Mullaney finishes second at West Point. As a Rhodes Scholar, he spends two years at Oxford where he meets his future wife. After completing several grueling and intensive months at Army Ranger School (where half of the entrants are dropped), he heads to Afghanistan where his life will be changed forever. less
