Resumen del Editor
Sergeant Bill Bee’s brush with death was broadcast on TV screens and published in newspapers around the world, but behind the cloud of dirt caused by a Taliban sniper bullet is a story of heroism, tragedy, and fighting an invisible war.
Sergeant Bill Bee is the Marine in one of the defining images from the War on Terror. He responded to gunfire without protective gear when a Taliban sniper shot hit a sandbank just a few inches from his head in Garmsir, Helmand Province.
When his world plunged into darkness, he thought his luck had run out. But he somehow survived, and his brush with death on May 18, 2008, was captured by a Reuters photographer. The images were broadcast around the world and became an iconic display of bravery at a time when support for the war in Afghanistan was low. People remember the reckless Marine who risked his life, but the story of the man reeling behind that cloud of dusk is one of an invisible war he is still fighting to this day.

Thousands of soldiers die every year to defend their country. United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills was sure that he would become another statistic when, during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, he was caught in an IED blast four days before his 25th birthday. Against the odds, he lived, but at a severe cost - Travis became one of only five soldiers from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to survive a quadruple amputation.

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.

From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

Until the war in Iraq, the Special Forces were the military's counterinsurgency experts. Their specialty was going behind enemy lines and training insurgent forces. In Afghanistan, they toppled the Taliban by transforming Northern Alliance fighters into cohesive units. But in the almost nine years since, Special Forces units have forgone their previous mission, instead focusing on offensive raids.

On November 18, 1967, Private First Class Davis' artillery unit was hit by a massive enemy offensive. At 21 years old, he resolved to face the onslaught and prepared to die. Soon he would have a perforated kidney, crushed ribs, a broken vertebra, his flesh ripped by beehive darts, a bullet in his thigh, and burns all over his body. Ignoring his injuries, he manned a two-ton Howitzer by himself, crossed a canal under heavy fire to rescue three wounded American soldiers, and kept fighting until the enemy retreated.

A true American hero
Billie Bee explains the story of a true American hero. This book provides countless emotions as Billie Bee and Wills Robinson detail all the ups and downs with being a soldier. Even in the challenging times, Billie never seems to lose his pride in being a US Marine. This book has been hair raising, angering, and sad at times, but also exciting, heart warming, and comedic. It is so well written.
I am on chapter 6 of the audible version, Michael Braun is reading. I listen to a lot of audible books and I have to say he must have been handpicked for this book. He is engaging and interesting, really the perfect fit in my opinion.
A great book! Every American should read it!

SSgt B was one of THE BEST FMTB instructors!
My husband and I went through FMTB at the same time, and although I wasn’t in his platform I’ll never forget his crazy antics! SSgt led a squad from my husband’s platoon through the swamp in the middle of the night in a scout swimmer raid of the beach my platoon had our tents set up. Their squad came out of the water with paint all over their faces, and the biggest grins knowing they “got” us! I just remember standing their in shock as SSgt B led them through our tents laughing knowing they got us! We learned so much from him and continue as Corpsmen, telling stories about his chaos! This book was epic and I definitely recommend it to any Devil Dog or Devil Doc out there!
