One Bullet Away The Making of a Marine Officer

"[F]ast-paced tactical deconstruction leavened with introspection....By focusing on his men's desire to be used for good, and his own drive to protect them from danger, Fick makes a compelling argument for an oft-overlooked military virtue: competence. Bravery, honor, and integrity are still important, but for Fick, nothing saves lives like forethought and reason. As the war in Iraq drags on, it's a call clearly worth heeding."Fick, Nathaniel C. is the author of 'One Bullet Away The Making of a Marine Officer', published 2005 under ISBN 9780618556137 and ISBN 0618556133.
