This is an outstanding book about one of the greatest soldiers ever! Read this book. It is excellent--gripping--full of great lessons on leadership and military techniques. If you're not in the military, but like military history, you would also like this book. It is stock full of war stories and great tales of feats that are just absolutely amazing! Read this book. It's a keeper. Hack's stories and lessons learned help me every day as I lead my platoon...2 miles from North Korea.

I don't read many action books or novels, but I love this book!
A very perceptive, quick thinker caught in "The Most Dangerous
Game" - human War). The book HAS to be read for one to have an opinion, a personal one.

The veracity of his accounts has many endorsements and no rebuttals, as far as I can tell. To this day he has maintained a high visibility, and mud slingers would have no trouble sighting this target.

Truly a American hero! David Hackworth was only 15 years old when he first went into the service. He later found himself having to fight in a deadly war with death and hurt all around him. Not only did he survive he came out as the most decorated man alive today. Read about Hackworth and learn how he had to fight to stay alive in a place where it's kill or be killed. I know it's a harsh term but it was true read this book and find yourself on the front line of a bloody and body/mind testing war. Worth the money any day of the week, good reading.

This book, "Brave Men," is pretty much just a reprint of his autobiography, "About Face." Save your money and buy "About Face."
Otherwise, they are both good reads, factual, and realistic, if somewhat opinionated. One caution: Col. Hackworth does not hesitate to give strong opinions in areas in which he is not qualified, such as the Sherman tank.
