Product Description:
If the Marines are "the few, the proud," Recon Marines are the fewest
and the proudest. Nathaniel Fick's career begins with a hellish summer
at Quantico, after his junior year at Dartmouth. He leads a platoon
in Afghanistan just after 9/11 and advances to the pinnacle—Recon—
two years later, on the eve of war with Iraq. His vast skill set puts him
in front of the front lines, leading twenty-two Marines into the deadliest
conflict since Vietnam. He vows to bring all his men home safely, and
to do so he'll need more than his top-flight education. 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
in combat. Split-second decisions might have national consequences or
horrible immediate repercussions, but hesitation isn't an option. One
Bullet Away never shrinks from blunt truths, but ultimately it is an
inspiring account of mastering the art of war.

- One Hell of a Book!
Most of us believe that we make reason-based decisions, and, most of us do much of the time. "One Bullet Away" is a masterful book, not only because it explores, as it does, Nate Fick's decision to go from a classics-major Dartmouth graduate into the most rigorous unit of the Marine Corps, but also because Fick explores decision-making under great stress when those decisions can be the proverbial difference between life and death. All-too-often, though, the decisions Fick and his colleagues in the ... Read More

Mr Fick has the Character, Courage, and Integrity this country needs now, to shape the future for the next generation.

'One Bullet Away' by Nathaniel Fick
Nathaniel Fick's literary debut does not disappoint. The author's engaging narrative recounts his decision to join the US Marine Corps in 1998, through Officer Candidate School, Recon Training and eventually tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, respectively.
'One Bullet Away' is a solid boots on the ground portrait which reveals the good, the bad and insane of war: from incompetent commanders to maddening postwar planning tactics to unparalleled ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding read for warriors and civilians alike
In a time when many people already consider the war in Iraq pure hubris and stretching of muscles by a superpower gone mad, it is refreshing indeed to read true, honest stories from the men who fought the war.
The good intentions, the fears, the disappointments and triumphs all paint a picture that is very different from the cynical jeering presented to us from almost all media outlets.
While Nate Fick's "One Bullet Away" dedicates a lot of its 369 pages to events that occurred ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding piece of truth!
Amazingly written by "one of the few and the proud" to inform the readers of the honor, courage and commitment that it takes to be a leader of one of the finest fighting force on the planet.
