This was both an amazing and shocking read.i thought the author did a brilliant job at getting his story across im such an amazing and interesting way. It was very well written, but I thought it could of done without the sound words, but that was only a little point. Then again if like me you read your books using text to speech its father funny listening to all the onomatopoeia spoken out loud. It was rather shocking learning about his younger years. Then, moving to seria and what happened next made for some fascinating reading. It was definitely a high paced, fast flowing story that had me on the edge of my seat. So many emotions were felt when reading this book. Which is the best feature for me in books. It really does portray what life is like during war.i really can't recommend this book enough. Especially if you love war stories. This book had me totally engrossed, and I just couldn't put it down. In fact I finished it in a morning. I am actually gutted. I missed the publication date on this book as it was amazing, and I have had to wait to read such a powerful account of life fighting in the war.

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing us this very emotional account of war. I can not thank the author enough for his service in trying to stop terrorism. I would definitely read more from this author.

In this modern age of digital technology and sterile images of war on the TV from the latest laser guided bomb being dropped through a window, this book gives you a real taste of boots on the ground front line warfare.
Its brutal, honest, and gives the reader a glimpse of the reality of war.
The author completed a six month tour working as a combat medic with the YPG in Syria. Facing daily struggles from constant combat and a lack of all supplies including food, he went on to complete the tour but not without loss, both losing friends in combat and also a huge part of his mental health.
If you want to read what front line combat is really like then read this book.
An excellent read, compelling and totally engrossing, I recommend anyone interested in warfare to buy a copy for your library shelf today!
