His vast skill set puts him in front of the front lines, leading twenty-two Marines into the deadliest conflict since Vietnam. Fick unveils the process that makes Marine officers such legendary leaders and shares his hard-won insights into the differences between military ideals and military practice, which can mock those ideals.In this deeply thoughtful account of what it's like to fight on today's front lines, Fick reveals the crushing pressure on young leaders
