Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Until a winter evening in 1998, Nathaniel was just another history student on a comfortable career trajectory of high school to college to white collar job. Then he went to a lecture by a "Wall Street Journal" reporter who had just published a book on the US Marines. It brought forth a latent desire to break free of the 'seat belt and safety goggle, safety-first' culture: to be a warrior. He passed the gruelling selection course and joined the Marine Corps on graduation. Posted to a Marine Regiment in the wake of 9/11, he took part in the invasion of Afghanistan, then led a platoon of their elite Recon Battalion during the invasion of Iraq. This is not a book about the Iraq invasion as such: it is an articulate and deeply thoughtful young man's account of what it means to fight in the frontline, to risk not just death or injury, but psychological harm. He reveals some of the awful dilemmas war can bring, horrible problems to which there is no 'right' answer, but a decision had to be made quickly - by him alone. In combat you are just one bullet away from death - or promotion. But this doesn't focus the mind: it makes it freeze up - unless your training is so thorough that you overcome exhaustion and terror. 'Nate' took 65 men to war and came home with all 65. He proved himself an excellent officer and won a promotion, but resigned in 2003 to write this book and attend Harvard Business School. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
