Description:
Violence of Action is much more than the true, first-person accounts of the 75th Ranger Regiment in the Global War on Terror. Between these pages are the heartfelt, first-hand accounts from, and about, the men who lived, fought, and died for their country, their Regiment, and each other. Objective Rhino, Haditha Dam, recovering Jessica Lynch, the hunt for Zarqawi, the recovery of Extortion 17 and everything in between ... These stories have been told many times in barracks rooms, bar tables, and backyard barbecues but they have never before been shared with the general public. It is time for those stories to be heard.
So much more than just stories from a specific unit; this book reveals the sights, smells, and emotions of everything that happens in war--good or bad. It will be seen as the quintessential, ageless work on the human condition in combat.
Brief description: Leo Jenkins is the author of Lest We Forget, On Assimilation, and First Train Out of Denver. He is a former Ranger medic, life connoisseur, writer of words, traveler of nations, and drinker of beers.
