This autobiographical book was written by a man who, from his youth, dreamed of becoming a Marine, a member of the most prestigious branch of the US military. Having overcome all difficulties, he realized his dream, and then, as a Marine platoon commander, strengthened democracy in Afghanistan, participated in the invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of the regime of Saddam Hussein. He fought bravely, saved all his subordinates in battle, rose to the rank of captain and, unexpectedly for everyone, resigned, struck by the cruelty of modern war and certain unsightly aspects of army life. This extremely interesting and informative book will not only tell about real historical events in the system of a unipolar world, but will also make the reader understand what the American army is, how it is different and how it is similar to ours.
