This is one of the best books I have read in some time. Mullaney tells his story from his time at West Point, through his days as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, to the battlefields of Afghanistan, and more. His writing is marvelous and turns this biography into a page-turner. I recommend it without reservation!

Reading Update
(13) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - J.R.R. Tolkien
As anyone reading this will know, this is part two of the famous trilogy. One thing I noticed in reading this book was how different it was from Peter Jackson's movie. The book spans a much greater period of time than the movie. For example, the battle at Helm's Deep, which is the final battle scene in the film, takes place in the first third of the book. Anyway, a great book that everyone should find the time to read.
