Cdr. Richard Jadick's story is one of the most extraordinary to come out of the war in Iraq. At thirty-eight, the last place the Navy doctor was expected to be was on the front lines. He was too old to be called up, but not too old to volunteer. In November 2004, with the military reeling from an acute doctor shortage, Jadick chose to accompany the First Battalion, Eighth Marine Regiment (the "1/8") to Iraq. This is the inspiring story of his decision to enter into the fray, a fascinating glimpse into wartime triage, and a compelling account of courage under fire.

From AudioFile
Lloyd James sounds like the character whose memories hes reading, the same age and with the voice one might expect from a young doctor--quiet but assertive. Capitalizing on the excitement of stories written by a surgeon in a war zone, the narration ceases to exist as well-painted mental images replace the words. Every once in a while James gives a little laugh or imitates a drill instructor, adding to but not upstaging the story. As battalion medical officer, while under heavy fire, Dr. Jadick helped his corpsmen staunch the bleeding when dozens of casualties surrounded them. His tales of life at war mingled with the agonies of familial estrangement could portray any GI in Iraq.
