Distincions
As the war in Iraq continues, the idea of being a soldier in wartime is of interest to many Americans. Why Marines Fight by James Brady is a ruthlessly candid book told in the words of U.S. Marines themselves, who answer provocative questions about what drives them to fight and why so competently and ferociously.For more than two centuries, U.S. Marines have been among the world's fiercest and most admired of warriors. This pounding look into the U.S. Marines is magnificent in scope and is written by an author whom some marines consider to be the unofficial poet laureate of their corps. Brady interviews combat marines from wars ranging from World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan, and records their responses in their own unique and powerful voices. These he crafts into an authentically American story of a country at war as seen throught he eyes of its warriors. Americans who experience Brady's chronicle of this part of a soldier's life and its lasting effect may find it impossible to forget. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

James Brady who is the author interviews young men and women in the marines and they tell him their experiences. Most of the experiences told were combat and discipline and the question Brady asks is "why do marines fight?"
I guess the main character of the book is the author(James Brady) because he's the one interviewing the marines. He call some marines and also some marines call him so they can be interviewed. He finds people from different wars and different stories and also the marines he interviews also have similarities.
I don't think anything of the book relates to anything going on in my life.
I think maybe what I didn't like was I lost track of what was going on. It was annoying and tried to get a general idea of what was going on.
I would probably recommend this book to someone that likes the marines, but I don't know who.
