More Than Courage

This is not an action packed book. It is detailed story of the thoughts and the works of a mid level officer in the pentagon. It works through the emotions, feelings and a few actions of the men in the recon team as well as a ranger battalion.

It does give a horrific insight into the captivity of POWs.

There is a lot of detailed explanation that slows down the pace of the book, even in the combat section of the book it is bogged down by functional details of equipment.

It's a well written book. It tells a good realistic story, but it was not a page turner for me. " Not an action packed book": After the initial combat in the book, there is no boots on the ground action till page 318.

Despite the fact that Coyle has sort of whiny soldiers, I liked it and will look for more of his at the library.
