Product Description:
Bringing to searing life the terrifying intimacy of hand-to-hand infantry combat, House to House is far more than just another war story. Populated by an indelibly drawn cast of characters, it develops the intensely close relationships that form between soldiers under fire. Their friendships, tested in brutal combat, would never be quite the same. What happened to them in their bloody embrace with America's most implacable enemy is a harrowing, unforgettable story of triumph, tragedy, and the resiliency of the human spirit.
House to House is a soldier's memoir that is destined to rank with the finest personal accounts of men at war. An instant classic in hardcover, this timeless story features a new afterword and a question and answer section with the author.

I can't add much to what's already been said. This is a fantastic read, two sittings for me. This is pure intensity from the first page until the last. The commentary/perspective from SSG Bellavia is just wonderful. I have a BA in English creative writing, and even on my very best day, I don't think I could come up with some of the emotions he genuinely reveals (i.e. the story of throwing a smoke grenade to interrupt a last breath farewell between father and son, simply because "our guys" don't ...

Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, in House to House, takes you where he and his men were -- fighting house to house in Fallujah.

But at base there are fear and courage and skill -- fear of what insurgents or booby traps are inside the house in front of you, courage to go there, skill to position yourself and your men. And in addition to rifle and machine gun fire at a distance, there are bloody ... Read More

This book was suggested to me by the mother of a Marine. I was going to say ex-Marine but there is no such thing. She said it was as close to the real thing as you could get. Her son was in Iraq three times but I don't think he told her the real thing. This book is good and it has it's moments. Enough so that I wouldn't want to trade places with any of these American hero's. I haven't finished the book yet but it tracks with my worst imaginings of what Iraq must be like. God bless our armed forces! ... Read More

After trying to understand for years even a small fraction of what is actually going on in Iraq and what happened in Fallujah, this book is a blessing. Not only is a it a great account to the things we all must know before we turn on CNN for the guide to our lives, it's also a great story in general.. It will steal you heart, if you have one. It's very easy to read and holds your attention throughout the whole book without any long boring gaps. So for those of you with limited attention span (like me), reading ... Read More
