"This book helped me understand that other athletes around the country endure similar stressful experiences that go along with sports and teenage life. And it's definitely useful in making a realistic plan for college." Tanner Starbard, 16, Basketball, California "Wow this is cutting edge honesty. I would highly recommend this book to parents, 'F' bombs and all, if they really want to know who their kids are, how they feel, what they dream, how they talk, how hard they work. It's sometimes harsh, sometimes tender, but ALWAYS REAL. A great read, insightful in a very unexpected way." Marshell Ann Wright, 41, Parent, Louisiana

Book Description
The year is 2010, the place Sangin, Afghanistan. The U.S. Marines from 3/7 have been tasked to go into the heart of darkness. This story tells the accounts from the front lines in one of the most dangerous places in the world. The birthplace of the Taliban, and home to the some of the world's most radical terrorists. This fast-paced memory is in-your-face, direct, and vulgar - but all true.The author was side by side the Marines in firefights and surviving IED blasts. Not as an observer, but as a Tactical Advisor. He was helping to hunt out and reduce the insurgent threat. From moments of sheer terror to the loss of Marines that fought bravely, this epic story recounts the first U.S. Marines to replace the British Forces that had been fighting for seven years in Sangin. Fighting for their lives minute by minute, the Marines of 3/7 made their place in Marine Corps history. Not only were the Marines deadly, they were determined to prevail. The author is a former Marine and a 24 year Law Enforcement veteran. His vast knowledge and experience was just another tool used by the Marines to hunt down the Taliban where they hid. The Marines depicted in the novel were real and earned individual awards like the Navy Cross, Silver Star and Bronze Star. Too many posthumous awards were earned as well. Learn about true bravery and doing what is right for your country. This is the untold story of the real Warfighters that hunted and killed the Taliban in their own front and backyard. See what the "Brotherhood of the Blade" is all about: Honor, Courage and Commitment. "3/7 No Shit, No Shit 3/7!"
