Teaser Tuesday: Joker One
.
"Five minutes later, Noriel and I hit the large dirt road that signaled the approach to the cemetery. But no sooner had I breathed a sigh of relief than headlights appeared around a road bend some one hundred meters away, moving rapidly towards us."
Joker One: A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood by Donovan Campbell.
I was worried that I wouldn't like this book because, well, to be honest, I'm a chick and this is a war book. But the story is riveting and the writing snappy, so I am tearing through it.
