These stories leave the reader with a profound sense of [our troops’] selfless sacrifice and, sadly, a profound sense of the gulf that separates the ethos of the military from the contemporary currents of American life....Schultz and Chandrasekaran never suggest that war is good. But the stories they tell are a welcome reminder of what soldiers have always known: that out of difficulty and trauma come a sense of spiritual self-worth and a dedication to the service of others.

“Rajiv Chandrasekaran narrates [their] book in a serviceable voice,
and his pace keeps the book moving. Chandrasekaran has a great deal of respect
for the veterans and their stories, and that’s the way he approaches the text.
He doesn’t inject any emotion or much in the way of vocal dynamics into his
reading, but his plain voice lets the words shine through so listeners can
experience the true voices—those of the soldiers.”
