""House to House" is a charged and honestly stark view down the
rifle-sights of an infantryman during a crucial period in Iraq.
Ballavia is our man with boots on the ground. To read this book is
to know intimately the daily grind and danger of men at war."--
Anthony Swofford, author of "Jarhead"
""House To House" is a terrifically realistic account of the
hardest kind of combat known to man. Staff Sergeant Bellavia puts
you right there with his men as they see it. This is a must
read."-- Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin, USMC (Ret.), author of
"Shooter: The Autobiography of the Top-Ranked Marine Sniper"
"A hair-raising tale of men in battle. "House to House" is about as
raw and real as it gets."-- Evan Thomas, author of "Sea of
Thunder"
"Bellavia is the legend from Iraq. He went house-to-house in
Fallujah killing the terrorists -- alone! MUST reading for all
grunts."-- Bing West, author of "No True Glory"
"David Bellavia shows us the stairways and alleys of Fallujah
through the sights of his M-4. Politics and strategy are impossible
luxuries for the combat infantryman, but Bellavia writes about even
bigger themes: courage, fear, brotherhood, and duty. This is a
humbling story, brilliantly told."-- Nathaniel Fick, author of "One
Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer"
"Like St. Mihiel, Normandy, Inchon, and Khe Sanh before it,
Fallujah is one of the most horrific and hard-fought battles in
U.S. history. SSG David Bellavia's riveting, poignant, and at times
even humorous firsthand account vividly emphasizes why this battle
must never be forgotten. And why, because of the breathtaking
courage of Bellavia and his fellow troops, it was won."-- Andrew
Carroll, editor of "War Letters" and "Behind the Lines"
"Staff Sgt. Bellavia brings it. This is life in the infantry, circa
right now. They used to say that the real war will never get in the
books. Here it does, stunningly. You may not agree with it, or like
what he has to say. Read it anyway -- and then sit silently for an
hour or so and contemplate what he has done on behalf of his
country."-- Thomas E. Ricks, author of "Fiasco: The American
Military Adventure in Iraq and Making the Corps"
