Kirkus Reviews , 11/1/13 "Robinson ably discusses the intricacies of military justice.Captures the folly and resource drain of the Iraq War.Should appeal to conservative readers." Washington Times , 11/13/13 "In this very important book, author Patrick Robinson shows how the culture of our military is imperiled by a high command that too frequently allows political correctness to trump honor and common sense." Cape Cod Times , 11/10/13 "This is a story of war waged in a distant place, and the role of modern media to open doors for the bad guys but get the bigger story straight--eventually." Booklist Online, 11/22/13 "It's a tale that is guaranteed to raise eyebrows and spark debate. Written in an even-keeled, reportorial style, the book tells a story we wish had never happened, but one that certainly needs to be told." The American Spectator , 11/26/13 "The book's account of the high command's intimidation tactics should be required reading for all military personnel today.

" Sacramento Book Review , December 2013 "If you are looking for a strong read, this is a no-brainer." Bookviews blog, December 2013 "A case history of why morale in our armed forces today has been savaged by the #145;political correctness' that has been imposed on all the services.This is a story worth reading as a lesson of how far our military have strayed from its values under the pressure of an administration that gives greater credence to the word of a terrorist than to its own heroes." BookNews.com, December 2013 "[A] dramatic narrative account." WomanAroundTown.com, 1/21/14 "[A] war story that's not for sissies.[Robinson] doesn't pretend to be impartial--as evidenced by the title--but he is honest and straightforward in telling how a team of Navy Seals captured the notorious terrorist Ahmad Hashim Abd Al-Isawi.

Many have claimed that #145;military justice' is an oxymoron, and this story backs up that assertion.".
