Have you ever wondered what it is like to fight in a war? This is the book that will put you there. Lt.. Colonel McBrearty explicitly chronicles the day-to-day stress and pressures of a National Guard battalion mobilizing for Operation Iraqi Freedom. “Colonel Mack” will have you laughing on one page and crying three pages later in this uniquely honest representation of what combat is really like. This book will forever change the way you look at our nation’s military.

Folks, this is not your typical blood-and-guts war story. COMBAT JOURNAL is a real story containing real emotions, tragedy, love, despair, hope, faith, and even death. You are about to go on a journey like you have never been before. You will observe Major Darby Hillcrest mobilize, train, and certify his Armor Battalion of citizen soldiers for combat duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Never has there been such a detailed account of the day-to-day experiences of a National Guard combat deployment.
