Joker one : a Marine platoon's story of courage, leadership, and brotherhood
From the cover: "After graduating from Princeton, Donovan Campbell wanted to give back to his country, engage in the world, and learn to lead. so he joined the service, becoming the commander of a forty-man infantry platoon called Joker One. Campbell had just months to train and transform a ragtag group of brand-new Marines into a first-rate cohesive fighting unit, men who would become his family. They were assigned to Ramadi, the capital of the Sunni=dominated Anbar province that was an explosion waiting to happen. And when it did happen - with the chilling cries of "Jihad, Jihad, Jihad!" echoing from minaret to minaret- Campbell and company were there to protect the innocent, battle the insurgents, and pick up the pieces. Thrillingly told by the man who led the unit of hard-pressed Marines, Joker One is a gripping tale of leadership and loyalty.
