Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Recent-Iraq historians and "old soldiers" will enjoy this
Books like "War Stories" will always get bummed up by the majority of reviews instinctively, simply because book reviewers tend to be loaded with those who dislike soldiers. The reader would be delighted, however, with how articulate and comprehensive Oliver North presents his story of "Gulf War II."

The first three-quarters of the book details the immediate lead-up to the conflict (but published just before Saddam's capture), and the author's assignment to Iraq by Fox News. He tells ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - reminded me of Guadalcanal Diary
Colonel North is a great story teller.The way he weaves together the stories of the Marines, Soldiers and Airmen in Operation Iraqi Freedom makes for riveting reading.North does an outstanding job providing a cohesive picture of the military operation by weaving together individual stories---action-packed stories---of the men and women that served in this conflict.The Colonel does an excellent job of creating narrative tension.I found myself reading well into the night.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - War Stories Operation Iraqi Freedom
I normally do not read "war" books. When I saw this book I had to get it -- after a very good Marine friend told me a little about his tours in this war.I wanted to learn more since he never thought he did anything out of the ordinay - he was only doing his job as a Marine.

I like how this book describes the men and women serving our country and the sacrifices they volunteer to make.I am very PROUD of our military.

I would definitely recommend this book.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent stories by a Marine about our troops in combat
This book is a series of snapshots in time covering the exploits of Marines and Soldiers in combat.Since it is written by a Marine, the stories are told from their perspective as opposed to being filtered by the media.

If you support the troops, or know one, and you ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
This is a great book. It gets you right in with the action and keeps you reading. What is amazing is that it is real reality and not fiction. Lots of little details are thrown in at the appropriate times, for information and education. Really easy to read and also easy to read in small sections at a time.
