Sgt. John Basilone, USMC is an American hero in every sense of the word. After struggling to find his calling early in life, he found it in the Marines. The narrative is well written and draws you in, even though you know Basilone‘s fate before you begin. My only issue with this biography is that it was written as a first person narrative, as though Basilone is speaking to us from the grave. Aside from this, Basilone‘s bio is inspirational.
