Review of Terror to Truimph
Posted: 26 Jan 2022, 08:46
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Terror to Truimph" by Chris Whittemore.]
In Terror to Triumph, Chris Whittemore, the author, an ex-Marine himself, recounts his experiences while serving his country. He tells us about his harrowing experiences in Iraq, Afghanistan, and even the United States of America. He describes how he has lost many comrades. This book provides more insight into the way of life of the Marines and what they go through. It also highlights the injustices that are meted out to them, which is very bad because they sacrifice a lot for the safety of others.
In reality, men and women sign up to become Marines just for the love of their countries. They opt to risk their lives so that other citizens would be safe. Read this fantastic book to know everything about being a Marine.
This book has many positive aspects that must be highlighted. Let's start with the fact that this book exists in the first place. Information is power, and it is good that this book is available because it informs and puts things into perspective for the readers. It will serve to make people appreciate the value of the Marines. Also, I liked the author's way of saying what he felt and not mincing words, whether it came to his shortcomings or that of others. He said it as it is, which is good. We learn about what the marines go through during their service and after that. The struggle is real, and some succumb to it, so they are pulled under. The author, despite facing all he did, was able to pull through. That is all thanks to his strong support system, his wife. Honestly, I believe she is a superwoman. She is a resilient person. She was very supportive, and that was another thing I loved about the book. It was the best thing about this book. Finally, I found no errors in the book, which means that it was well edited.
However, this book has its flaws. While reading the book, I detected disdain for Muslims from the author. I believe that the issues the author pointed out go both ways. Instead, the author should have focused on the insurgents for what they are and not for what religious groups they belong to. Although most terrorist sects are predominantly Muslims, not all of Muslims are bad. I encourage the author to review some parts of this book.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars because it was an excellent book. I did not give the book a higher rating because of its negative aspect, which I believe cannot be overlooked.
I recommend this book to everyone above the age of seventeen. It may not be suitable for people below the specified age because of the gory descriptions of death and violence in the book.
