    I love the book. I mean the historically correct days and weapons just every thing. It is so good that in 110 degree weather instead of deciding to go swimming with my family I decided to read this book.

    I looooove this book I love how it goes from different povs but they all meet him and how most are true stories and in the back of the book they tell about the person and what happened in real life. One of the best war books I’ve read it is a tad bit sad but other then that it’s great
