Why read it?
1 author picked Make Peace or Die as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is the story of an incredible life. I love reading about service members who achieve great things after their time in uniform, especially when discussing how their service impacts their follow-on careers.

From John's list on memoirs from five wars.
