Resumen del Editor
Kacy Tellessen is a grunt. After completing high school in rural Washington, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and began the hero's journey he imagined might parallel those epic tales he'd consumed throughout adolescence. But what Tellessen lived through—from boot camp to the battlefield and home again—had little in common with Homer's tales or Hollywood's depictions.
In his memoir, Tellessen offers a truer account of life as an infantryman: the complicated, conflicting, adrenaline-pumping, and traumatic experience of war. Though much of our country's fighting and dying is done by infantry members, few accounts detail the grunt experience with as much clarity and vulnerability as Freaks of a Feather.
Kacy was born in Spokane and raised in Spangle, Washington, a small farming community that clings to the edge of the Palouse. Kacy joined the Marine Corps infantry directly out of high school and deployed twice to Iraq as an Infantry machine gunner with Second Battalion, Third Marines from 2005-2009. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Zero-Dark-Thirty literary journal, as well as the soflete website.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Powerful prose, honest and humble. Only a Marine could write this. I’d be proud to have Kacy in my gun-team. Semper Fi." (Johnnie Clark, author of the best-selling military classic Guns Up!)
"As introspective as he is entertaining, Tellessen uses a captivating blend of muscular and minimalistic prose to give us an uncomfortably honest look at where courage and nature diverge. Freaks of a Feather immediately separates itself from the litany of exploitative military accounts by avoiding political grandstanding or vicarious violence in favor of a remarkably intimate and often heart-pounding narrative. Despite this being his debut, Tellessen is able to use the deft touch of a seasoned writer to relay his story in a way that feels universal and yet wholly personal. This book will stay at the front of my mind and my shelf for years to come." (James Wade, Spur award-winning author of All Things Left Wild and River, Sing Out)
"Tellessen’s memoir opens at the cyclic rate and never lets up. Freaks of a Feather is a book that you’ll stick in your cargo pocket and never leave more than one arm’s distance until you’ve read it cover-to-cover." (Major Thomas Schueman, USMC infantry officer and English instructor at the Naval Academy)

The teenage wasteland he fled followed him to the training bases of California. Young survived training and then three deployments to Iraq as an infantryman.

It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it "the surge". "Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences," he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic Army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers.

Brian Castner served three tours of duty in the Middle East, two of them as the commander of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit in Iraq. Days and nights he and his team—his brothers—would venture forth in heavily armed convoys from their Forward Operating Base to engage in the nerve-racking yet strangely exhilarating work of either disarming the deadly improvised explosive devices that had been discovered, or picking up the pieces when the alert came too late.

Historia
Policing Saigon isn't Platoon or Apocalypse Now, but the story of Loren W. Christensen's experience as a military policeman (MP) in a city of millions at a time when chaos and fear reigned. As a 23-year-old from a small town in Washington State, the author was plunged into a chaotic city of brawling servicemen, prostitutes, racial violence, enemy rockets, riots, and death. It was a place that would give him a unique opportunity to see up close a different side of the Vietnam War and its effect on the human condition.

Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban. But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues.

At 24 years of age, U.S. Army Ranger Sean Parnell was named commander of a forty-man elite infantry platoon - a unit that came to be known as the Outlaws - and was tasked with rooting out Pakistan-based insurgents from a mountain valley along Afghanistan's eastern frontier. Parnell and his men assumed they would be facing a ragtag bunch of civilians, but in May 2006 what started out as a routine patrol through the lower mountains of the Hindu Kush became a brutal ambush.

One hundred years from now, Russia and the United States are at odds again. This time the war has gone hot. Heavily armored soldiers battle genetically engineered troops hundreds of meters below the icy, mineral-rich mountains of Kazakhstan. War is Oscar Wendell’s ticket to greatness. A reporter for the Stars and Stripes, he has the only one-way ticket to the front lines. The front smells of blood and fire and death—it smells like a Pulitzer.

An irreverent and real look at life in a combat unit
This book captures the fighting spirit of boys who voluntarily force themselves into manhood. It’s an egotistical memoir (not in a bad way) that is honest about how young men think before, during, and after wartime.

A very personal and moving memoir
If you’ve never served in a war zone, or even if you have, this story walks you through that experience in a very raw, personal and, sometimes, graphic way. The author is honest, reflective and sharing and doesn’t mask what a tour is like and how it impacted himself, his friends and his family. Patrick Kirchner’s narration was well paced, emotional and told as only a fellow Marine could tell. This story will make you cry, make you laugh and, most importantly, make you think about what war does to soldiers, both in the field and when they return home. Thank you Kacy for sharing your story and thank you Patrick for your narration.

A look into what it was really like
As an Iraq veteran I haven’t read many books about the war, but this one captured my attention from the start. Kacey descriptively explains what felt like my own personal journey as a young man going to the Marine Corps looking for heroism and glory. Great book! Thanks for writing it!

An honest telling of war and the struggle after.
To truly listen to this tale will change a person's perception of what those of us who go to war feel, live and hide. Kacy is brutally honest in his words and gives voice to many of us who have been there, done that and really can't explain.

Awesome
Kacy Tellesen pulls no punches when it comes to his tale of his experience in the Marine Corps infantry. He drills home almost every aspect of training and deploying like only someone who was there can. His understanding of the drive of the young grunt and the turmoil of returning home is raw and exactly on point.

I enjoyed this book.
Kacy is an intelligent, talented writer. His account gave me an insight into a world I will never experience in real life, but a valuable taste of what Marines have survived and overcome.

The full arch of the GWOT grunt experience
A cliché GWOT grunt’s story made EXCEPTIONAL through Kacy’s beautiful writing and heartbreaking candor. From insecure teenager, to salty grunt, then combat veteran; his hero’s journey does not shy away from the human consequences of experiencing war. This book belongs on any shelf, next to Leckie, Sledge, and Caputo.

great book for overseas veterans to read
it was a good book to describe a lot of similarities to a lot of veterans with deployment experience and I would recommend this for any of them to listen to or read
