In the Mail...

My friend Iraq War combat journalist Michael Yon just published his newest book, Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster into Victory and Hope.

He sent me a copy, which was waiting for me when I got home last night. I'm going to try to carve some time out in my schedule to read it at some point this weekend or early next week and read it so I can give you a review.

Mike has spent more time embedded with soldiers in Iraq than any other journalist period, and therefore has a very good idea of what is actually happening in Iraq, something that rational people should consider when they read this article from him in today's Wall Street Journal.

1 I ordered mine a few days ago, sight unseen. After reading Mike's excellent reports from Iraq over the last few years, it's the least I could do. Kudos Mike. May you one day earn that Pulitzer.

2 I bought two months ago. I got them this week. Michael Yon has told the real story of the Iraq war for good or bad. But he has told it truthfully as he sees it unlike the much vaunted MSM.

3 This book looks like a must read on the topic. Yon, Totten, Roggio and others are models to be followed in future wars.
