My dad had me read this when I was a senior in high school and considering joining the marines. Even had Dave Grossman autograph it for me "To Billy. Hoorah! Dave Grossman" Cracks me up thinking about it.
It was an excellent book that I could not put down. Goes into how the military and other security type forces are trained to kill, but only recently trained how to deal with the effects of killing. Sent the book to a few buddies of mine who ended up going overseas.
Excellently written, I encourage anyone who is thinking about joining the military, or any security or police force for that matter, to read this book or its brother book, On Combat.
