Book Reviews of House to House
Book Review: Mandatory Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Written as only a Sgt. can write. Spot on descriptions of life in a combat zone and the hell that swirls around you minute by minute. This is the stuff of the real patriots that walk amongst us. David's description of his guilt and loneliness after he leaves the Army is exactly how it is. The feeling of being loss, separated from your troops. This book shows you exactly why NCO's are, have been, and always will be the backbone of the military. We don't fight for Mom, the flag, and apple pie. We fight for each other. David explains it as well as anyone has ever done. This should be mandatory reading in every NCO academy in the Army. 4 Silver Stars.
Summary of House to House
In one of the most compelling combat narratives ever written, Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, Army infantry platoon leader, gives a teeth-rattling, first-hand account of eleven straight days of heavy house-to-house fighting during the climactic second battle of Fallujah. His actions in the firefight, which included killing five insurgents in hand-to-hand combat, earned him the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and New York State's highest military honor, the Conspicuous Service Cross. He has been nominated for the Medal of Honor and for the Army's second highest combat medal, the Distinguished Service Cross, awarded for "extreme gallantry and risk of life in actual combat with an armed enemy force," with just four DSCs awarded since 1975.This is the personal side of the battle, where emotion, courage, and strength are stretched to the limits.
