The Brave Ones: A Memoir of Hope, Pride and Military Service by Michael J. MacLe

Description: The Brave Ones by Michael J. MacLeod How does the US Army mold a video-game generation with its thumbs on the joystick into a proud fighting force with its fingers on the trigger-and lives on the line-in Americas War on Terror? Michael J. MacLeod, already an accomplished professional photographer and journalist, decided to find out the hard way: by enlisting in the armed forces at age forty-one. What he observed and experienced as an embedded reporter and a serving soldier makes for an unflinching and inspiring portrait of endurance, sacrifice, discipline, and courage. From the trials of basic training on the home front to the ranks of the legendary 82nd Airborne Division to taking fire in the hot zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, MacLeod chronicles the soldiers evolution as only one whos been in those boots can. Candid, wise, and powerful, his memoir takes readers on an unforgettable journey through war and allows them to witness bravery firsthand.

They bring a perspective and maturity to the business of combat arms not found among the twentysomethings. Mike MacLeod brings all this, along with the insights of a photojournalist and an experienced writer. The Brave Ones is a unique, inside look at modern war. Nicely done, Mike." —Dick Couch, author of The Warrior Elite and Chosen Soldier Review Quote "Ive known a few men over forty who have enlisted in the Army.
