While many other correspondents have ventured to the front lines in Iraq, few have stayed as long as West, or brought as much knowledge of military affairs to their work. The result is a book that features amazing accounts of heroism, brutality, perseverance, and gallows humor. Max Boot, "The Weekly Standard"
"No True Glory is the gripping account of the valor of the Marines in the fiercest urban combat since Hue. Yet, the even-handeddescription of the vacillation regarding policy will likely please neither some of our senior officers nor the White House." Former Secretary of Defense, James R. Schlesinger
"No True Glory is the best book on the U.S. military in Iraq to emerge so far." Tom Ricks of "The Washington Post"
The finest chronicle of the strategy behind battle and the fighting during battle that I've ever read!" General Carl E. Mundy, former Commandant of the Marine Corps
"A remarkably detailed, vivid firsthand account of the American military experience . West s focus is on the frontline, putting the reader at the negotiating table with U.S. military commanders and Fallujan sheiks, imams, and rebel leaders; in the barracks; and on the street, fighting hand to hand, house to house, in some of the fiercest battles of the Fallujah campaign and the Iraq war." "Booklist
" West describes the fury of the fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi in a style that makes him part historian, part novelist the grunts' Homer. "LA Times Book Review
" West successfully brings the war back home in all its agonizing and illuminating detail. From the combat stories of those on the ground all the way up to the White House, West [is] uniquely placed to write a chronicle of the fight. The narrative truly shines." "The Christian Science Monitor"
Exhaustively reported...West paints a picture of highly capable Marines struggling to make the best of untenable political circumstances. "Washington Post Book World"
