review 1: After reading 'Born Fighting' by James Webb,I had hope that he would write about his family that he mention in that book and so when Goodreads offer his book 'I Heard My Country Calling :A Memoir,I enter the contest and was lucky to win, I was not disappointed as he continue the story of the Webb family, a close knit family from his strong will grandmother to his hard working parents.I like the chapter on his time in the Naval Academy as he wrote about what would be called hazing and how his up bring got him thru it. I like the book but the last chapter sounded a little like a campaign speech.
review 2: Jim Webb delivers another well crafted narrative - this time describing his early life and the crafting of his character. Military brats will well recognize We... morebb's life and those who follow his politics will better understand how and why he holds the positions he holds. Webb's crie d'coeur comes through loud and clear, perhaps loudly enough to make this book the opening salvo of a 2016 campaign. If so, we would be lucky. less
