THE UNFORGIVING MINUTE: A SOLDIER'S EDUCATION

摘要

The Unforgiving Minute is an excellent choice from the recent wave of first-person narratives produced by junior officers participating in the Global War on Terrorism. As this conflict enters its eighth year, a resource such as The Unforgiving Minute provides important lessons and insights, not only to today's young Soldiers, but also to the general public. The author's leadership, dedication to duty, and personal struggles will inspire empathy among his fellow Soldiers but will also provide civilian readers with a re-assuring look into the thoughts and feelings of a capable young leader. Civilians and Soldiers alike will be able to effectively gain from the author's insights.
