- Review by Monica Viera, Book reviewer of Literary Book reviews

Victory Has a Body Count.

The Reckoning Is Personal.

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.

For readers of:

• Red Platoon
• House to House
• American Sniper

Out of every hundred men, one is a warrior.

And he will bring the others back.

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.

If you want the truth - read on.
