Picking it up today. Looks like an interesting read. More to come once I finish it.

The book was very well written in my opinion. I easily read through it in a morning/ afternoon. I found it fascinating, the observations and insights. Now I cannot comment on how accurate those observations are as I myself have no combat experience, but I would recommend the book.

I just finished the book, and agree with the reviewers (e.g. Amazon) who state that it is somewhat disjointed.  It was still an interesting read and gives a thumbnail sketch of life at a US FOB.  I look forward to seeing the movie "Restrepo" when it is released this summer, since it is really a companion to this book.
