Earned innocence

Camaraderie while taking on the world alone is mandatory.

This book is being described as beyond military fiction, entering the realm of contemporary fiction, and coming of age stories.

Written in first person, the author puts us in the boots of a seventeen year old American male as he joins the military seeking adventure and a "wake-up call", he awakens more than he ever imagined, albeit twenty years later.

Camaraderia in timp ce abordeaza lumea singura este obligatorie. Aceasta carte este descrisa ca dincolo de fictiunea militara, intrand in taramul fictiunii contemporane si povestile de varsta. Scris la prima persoana, autorul ne pune in cizmele unui barbat american de saptesprezece ani in timp ce se alatura militarilor in cautarea aventurii si a unui „apel de trezire”, el se trezeste mai mult decat si-a imaginat vreodata, desi douazeci de ani mai tarziu.
