Phenomenal! One of the best books I’ve read on combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Raw, candid and containing no frills, We March At Midnight puts you right into the fight alongside author Ray McPadden. It’s simply unputdownable and I’m once again left feeling pride and gratitude towards men like Mr. McPadden for putting themselves into harms way in the name of the United States of America and protecting freedom around the world.

The beauty of We March At Midnight, and what makes it so effective and enthralling to read, is the simplicity of the straight shooting, no BS, “just the facts, ma’am” account of Mr. McPadden’s time in Afghanistan and Iraq, the missions he led, the men he commanded, his thoughts and psyche, and the results of his decisions both good and bad. Furthermore, getting a glimpse into his correspondence with his wife while deployed and the relationship they try to build while he’s back stateside is quite powerful.

Thank you, Mr. McPadden, for your service and for your vulnerability to write about your experience at war and trying to maintain a strong relationship with your wife. I believe this book will be helpful to others in many ways, going way beyond providing a historical account or entertainment to some.

I highly recommend We March At Midnight to anyone who’s interested in military history, thriller fiction novels, and/or those who just like reading a powerfully good book.
