When the Tempest Gathers by Andrew Milburn
This is no ordinary war memoir. These are the combat experiences of the first Marine to command a special operations task force, leading Marines through the streets of Mogadishu, Baghdad, Fallujah and Mosul and culminating in the fight against ISIS.
Very few personal accounts of war cover such a wide breadth of experience, or with so discerning a perspective. Milburn tells his extraordinary story with self-effacing candor, describing openly his personal struggles with the isolation of command, post-combat trauma and family tragedy. He makes the reader experience what it’s like to lead those who fight America’s wars. Purchase at https://amzn.to/2xyNBNT
