“``An entertaining, insightful glimpse into the team room, and into the minds, of a Special Forces detachment at the outset of war. The “Green Berets,” as they are known, are a collection of young warriors whose skills and human emotions are laid bare by the realities of combat. Bill Raskin has been there, and now invites you into the world he inhabited.``”
— Stanley McChrystal, General, U.S. Army (Retired)
