I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I've read (audio book, but...). A respectful look at what happens when the worst has happened. Is it a little biased? I think sometimes yes, but this is most likely due to it being a summary of one man's history in this. I still found it factually accurate from personal experience and profoundly evocative. I found myself very fond of the way that the writer flipped between stories, interweaving them so you didn't tire of one thread for too long.
