Table of Content
OutlineTitle PageMaps/Photos (Joe has over 200 photos to select from, in Iraq and Afghanistan)GlossaryContentsIntroduction: A day that changed my life foreverIntroduction will cover Joe's youth, growing up in Brooklyn,tour of duty in US Army Rangers, return to NYC, and of course,September 11th--September 11th is the anchor of the introduction andJoe's thoughts on September 11th weave throughout the book. Book One: "Insurgent at 1100 Meters, Lieutenant." "Roger that. Take the shot."Joe's combat in Iraq dominates this section, the guts of the book are all here--this is the section that will appeal most to the military reader. His affection for Natalie, which the reader will first get in the introduction, grows here and the general reader will stay hooked on the love groove. Joe saw a ton of action, including "The Shot," and the combat will no doubt draw in many readers. The witnesses to Joe's seemingly-impossible shot will also recount that mission--among them are Captain Adam Bohlen, US Army 10th Mountain Division. You're familiar with Bohlen, of course, from Among Warriors in Iraq, a book in which LeBleu appears also. Book Two: Far Afghan HillsJoe was on a lot of dicey, very high-risk sniper missions in Afghanistan, and his thoughts on fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda are provocative, engaging, and intriguing. The grueling and very challenging nature of sniper missions in the rugged and remote mountains of Afghanistan provide the general reader with real contrast to the desert and urban missions of Book One. Again, Joe's love for Natalie binds the narrative. Book Three: Coming HomeThe warrior at rest. Joe felt that his debt to America was paid, having served in the Rangers and the paratroopers, and trusted his gut. His transition to civilian life, "back to The World," as grunts like to put it, wasn't easy but Natalie certainly made it far less difficult than it would've been without her. This section will also have Joe's thoughts on training Mark Wahlberg for the film, Shooter, and his last words on the impact of September 11th on his life.

Long Rifle Review
This book was pretty good if you like to read about modern military history. I read the book in about a week so it's not a real long read if that's what your looking for. Mr. Lebleu gives his accounts on some of the major operations he participated in while serving in the two major fronts of the war on terror. He does a nice job of telling it like it is as well as keeping the reader entertained. He does have some points in the book where you goes off on political rants, so if you don't want to hear about his political feelings don't read the book. One complaint I do have about the book is he could of spent a little more time detailing more about his time in the field. Outside of that one problem I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about the war on terror.
