Pulls you in and makes you feel like you are there with these heroes.

Just to give my comments some some context, I grew up on the north side of Houston, Texas and knew the Witcher brothers. I still regard that whole family as some of the bravest, patriotic, and loyal friends any man or country could ever hope for. I knew Monte had written a book about his experiences during Desert Storm and the battle of OP4. I had heard about that battle long before I knew that he was a part of it, so I was anxious to hear his take on it. Unfortunately I seldom have time to read for pleasure. That is why I had been urging Monte for some time to have it made into an Audible book. I was elated to hear that Lori Beck had helped to make that happen. I ordered it the day it became available and was glad I did. The way Monte presents the story of his time in training with his fellow marines leading right up to the battle of OP4 pulled me into the story. He provides the insights, impressions, and emotions that help you to understand what these young men were facing, how it affected them and how they delt with all of it. By the time the battle started I was thoroughly invested in all the marines in Delta. When they scored victories, I wanted to cheer for them. When they took casualties, l felt the shock and sorrow of their comrades. My only issue with this presentation was that it was too short. I was left wanting to know more about Monte, Cpt. Pollard, and all the other characters. I also wanted to hear the rest of the story of their actions throughout the remainder of the campaign. I guess I’ll have to order Lori’s companion book for that.
