Review of Feet First Into Hell
๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ต ๐๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต ๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ, a memoir of Daniel Nova Brower, presents an exclusive story of Brower while on the combat mission in Iraq and the mission's aftermath. This is an interesting story that gives a detailed tale of war as it happened in Iraq from the lenses of Brower.ย
Brower and his fellow soldiers of the infantry company embark on an invasion mission in Iraq. Once the combat missions of capturing the cities of Najaf, Karbala, and Baghdad were complete, they were sent to occupy Mosul city. Among their targets are to secure the city and schools, ensure power stays in Mosul, win the hearts and souls of the people in the area, and resupply schools and medical stations to continue running, among others.ย
The expectation from the soldiers was an easy sail from the combat mission to the occupation of Mosul. On the contrary, there will be retaliation and resistance from Iraq's rebel groups.
Brower narrates witnessing interesting and horrible scenes, like those involving the death of colleague soldiers and the death of Iraqi attackers. The mission exposes them to other adventures as they interact with the community within Mosul. How will the mission turn out to be? How will the mission aftermath be for the war veterans? Find out all the answers from this book.ย
I fall in love with this story. I was excited to learn more about the war in Iraq, especially getting the information from Brower, a victim of the circumstances, about the impact of the war on the people of Iraq, the soldiers, and their families.ย
One more thing is how Brower went into detail to narrate the events. I found several scenes that held my attention, like those in schools where they camped.ย
The author used exciting language that immerses the reader in the actual conversational language at war, which held my attention from the beginning to the end.ย
I did not find anything in the book to make me dislike it. The story is brief and captivating throughout the book.ย
This book deserves ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ rating. The editors professionally and flawlessly edited the book. I didn't come across any grammar errors. I recommend it to people who like memoirs and historical books. They will find the book interesting.
