A straight to the point account of all the skirmishes and ambushes of every kind the author was involved in, there's not much in the way of personal relations amongst the soldiers or day to day life in the war zone. In a really nice touch the author reserves most of his personal opinions about how the conflict is handled by the higher ups for the epilogue, where he also offers an update on what (and how) he and the others were doing months after the facts.

In my opinion what the book lacks in literary quality it more than makes up for with its simplicity and innate honesty
