Beau Wise, the author, is the only United States service member to be considered a sole survivor and pulled off the battlefield when his two brothers died while serving out of country. His brother, Jeremy, was a United States Navy SEAL veteran and CIA contractor. He was tragically killed in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber. His brother, Ben, was a United States Army Green Beret sniper. He was killed while serving on an assignment he volunteered for by Taliban forces. Beau, the surviving brother, did an amazing job relating his brothers' lives and personalities through this book, as well as talking about what their losses meant to him.

This book hurt my feelings so much. If a book hurts your feelings, you know it has to be good. I hate that the author was given a reason to write such a book, but I appreciate the sharing of the story. It was a nice way to honor the lives and sacrifices of his brothers, as well as share his personal experiences. I highly recommend reading this book if you are interested in the post-9/11 activities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
