What a wonderful story.
The author must have gotten a crystal clear, beautiful heart from his mother.

Danger Close (English Edition) Kindle版
Danger Close is the childhood story of war correspondent Michael Yon.
Spanning Yon’s formative years, from the devastation he felt at the loss of his mother at age seven to becoming a Green Beret at 19, Danger Close opens with a proverbial bang. In Ocean City, Maryland, the author is forced to defend himself in hand-to-hand combat and accidentally kills his assailant.
In youth, Michael catches alligators with his bare hands in the state he loves, Florida, which prepares him well for the long years ahead downrange in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond.
Fans of his internationally acclaimed first-person dispatches from the front lines, as well as from Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and elsewhere, should not miss the riveting story of his early life and adventures. It is a wonder that he survived.
This is the 5th edition of his first published work.

Not what I expected.

Dull, just dull. No doubts Michael Yon is a talented and brave individual but this was as interesting as an episode of Coronation Street.

Required reading for aspiring soldiers and good men
2016年11月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Lack of bravado is the mark of great character, and Michael Yon has hit the nail squarely on its head. Don't expect any soldier of fortune nonsense, this book is about respect for oneself and for those in your charge, the love of a mother and zest for life. My wonderful father was a Korean War Marine who spent almost two years recovering from wounds, yet we never heard him chastise his enemy of express disdain for the Korean people, he never bragged or wore his heart on his sleeve and he loved my beautiful mother and his son's with all he had. Manhood is defined by your kindness and decency, and Mr. Yon drives this point home.

Much more than macho
2007年3月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The thing I will remember most about this book is that, surprisingly, it was a deeply touching tribute to his mother. The military stuff is all extremely interesting, to the point where you won't be able to put it down. But the book goes far deeper. It's a timeless story from the heart -- one that every son wishes he could write for his mother. On the outside, the author is a tough-as-nails soldier. But on the inside, he's still a little boy who continually reaches back to his mother's love to guide him through life. This is as it should be. God bless all the good mothers of the world.

Wow! What a well crafted coming-of-age tale!
2018年6月30日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Wow! What a tale! Yon crafts a great story out of his introduction to maturity and the military life. I was a little irritated by his jumping back and forth, but eventually I got the hang of it and found that it enhanced the story more than a straight time line would have.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone who either wants to understand Michael Yon better or who just enjoys military coming of age stories.

How things can go very wrong very quickly
2005年9月17日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Mr. Yon is currently in Northern Iraq and writes periodic pieces on the web about his experiences with American forces. He is a very dedicated and personable guy who is just trying to do the right thing. I enjoyed this book very much but would have liked to know what happened after the car wreck. How did his SF career end,etc. Anyway those of you who are interested in personal military type accounts will definetly enjoy this book. It received an award for his writing style.
