The Blog of War ~ Matthew Burden


Brought to us by Matthew Burden - http://www.blackfive.net/ - this book gives you multiple views of the troops in the Great War on Terror. Excerpts collected from many war-time blogs will make you laugh and cry. It will touch your heart in many ways and give you an insight into the nature of the fine young people who are serving our country today.

"The Blog of War provides an uncensored, intimate, authentic version of life in the war zone. Dozens of voices come together in a wartime choir that conveys better than any second-hand account possibly can what it is like to serve on the front lines." (Cover Notes)

It is a fast read, but one that you will want to revisit many times.

Some of the entries were from bloggers I followed, some were new to me. But, all were well-written and expressed a very personal view of their war. I recommend this book to everyone in America who has any interest in those who are defending this country and the realities of the war we are in.

Thank you, Matt, for an outstanding read.
