When Harry Martinez volunteered, he was a police officer and a father who understood what war demands. He had served in the Marine Corps in the first Gulf War. In 2005, he arrived in Ramadi with the Army National Guard-where Al-Qaeda in Iraq hid among its citizens and every breath could be your last.
Their sniper section was tasked with one mission: find the enemy and stop them. From rooftop hides and shattered buildings, their split-second decisions saved American lives and ended others. Every victory left behind faces burned into memory, scenes that refused to fade, and a wavering faith he had to rebuild.

One Is a Warrior is a raw account of combat and command, the burden of bringing your men back alive-and the internal war that begins the moment you get home.
If you want a clean version of combat, this isn't it.
