I may have been reading too many books about the Marines in too a short time. A couple weeks ago I finished Making the Corps; now I'm halfway through Battle Cry by Leon Uris. Subsequently, two nights ago I dreamed I was in boot camp, not doing very well. ;)

Though I'm only halfway thru, Battle Cry reaffirms why Leon Uris is one of my favorite authors. He's not writing Christian fiction, so I can't recommend it without a PG-13 rating, but he is so good at well-researched history wrapped in a great story. I nearly fell out of bed laughing last night at one scene, even though I know that the boys are just getting ready to go into some horrific battles after half the book has explained the preparation.
