Full Battle Rattle: My Story as the Longest-Serving Special Forces A-Team Soldier in American History Reviews
A good read.. but horrible proofing.. Sea-rations for C-rations? Guam is 210 sq feet? ...
This was a very fast read for me. I thought it was interesting and engaging and it held my attention; I did not want to put it down. I am not saying it was a "nail-biter" by any means, but it was fascinating to read about different 'events' in American history from his "unique" perspec...
A well-told account of Master Sergeant Lahidji's colorful life. Can't even imagine the level of racism he must have experienced from both sides of the table. My personal opinion is that the book unfortunately doesn't deeply capitalize on the differentiating factor it could have had...
Not a real great book. It's full of so many mis-spellings and poorly worded descriptions to be almost unreadable. Lots of inaccuracies for a longtime SF trooper. Editing seems non-existent. For example, simple references like "C-rations" come out "sea rations". 5th SF Group com...
It was a great skim read. I didn't read every word due to the fact that 1)its military jargon 2) I don't need to know the technical name of a certain weapon. It was written like it was day by day however when you start putting the dates together you realize how long he was actually in ...
Lahidji came to America as a young man and join the US Army. His courage and language skills made him a valuable asset in the following years. Speaking of language, if you aren't used to being around soldiers, the f-bombs, etc that he drops may offend you. As a naturalized citizen,...
I received this book through the Goodread's Giveaways Program. I didn't hate this book, but I didn't love this book either. I am sure there were a lot of stories to recount over a 35 year period of service, but I felt that the book lacked depth. For example, I would have loved to learn...

Not sure exactly what I was expecting but this was a standard military memoir. Lahidji's career is long and storied and he was present for many incredible events. But if you've read a military memoir, there's nothing new here. Good if that's your thing. ...
Good story, poorly edited HSLD soldier, no doubt, but the errors in terminology were glaring. Kind of a fluff piece, and MSG Lahidji deserves better. ...
I'm not really into war type books but when i started to read it I felt i couldn't put it down. An honest and compelling read! Loved it! ...

Good story, poorly edited HSLD soldier, no doubt, but the errors in terminology were glaring. Kind of a fluff piece, and MSG Lahidji deserves better. ...
I'm not really into war type books but when i started to read it I felt i couldn't put it down. An honest and compelling read! Loved it! ...

A good read.. but horrible proofing.. Sea-rations for C-rations? Guam is 210 sq feet? ...
This was a very fast read for me. I thought it was interesting and engaging and it held my attention; I did not want to put it down. I am not saying it was a "nail-biter" by any means, but it was fascinating to read about different 'events' in American history from his "unique" perspec...
A well-told account of Master Sergeant Lahidji's colorful life. Can't even imagine the level of racism he must have experienced from both sides of the table. My personal opinion is that the book unfortunately doesn't deeply capitalize on the differentiating factor it could have had...
Not a real great book. It's full of so many mis-spellings and poorly worded descriptions to be almost unreadable. Lots of inaccuracies for a longtime SF trooper. Editing seems non-existent. For example, simple references like "C-rations" come out "sea rations". 5th SF Group com...
It was a great skim read. I didn't read every word due to the fact that 1)its military jargon 2) I don't need to know the technical name of a certain weapon. It was written like it was day by day however when you start putting the dates together you realize how long he was actually in ...
Lahidji came to America as a young man and join the US Army. His courage and language skills made him a valuable asset in the following years. Speaking of language, if you aren't used to being around soldiers, the f-bombs, etc that he drops may offend you. As a naturalized citizen,...
I received this book through the Goodread's Giveaways Program. I didn't hate this book, but I didn't love this book either. I am sure there were a lot of stories to recount over a 35 year period of service, but I felt that the book lacked depth. For example, I would have loved to learn...
Not sure exactly what I was expecting but this was a standard military memoir. Lahidji's career is long and storied and he was present for many incredible events. But if you've read a military memoir, there's nothing new here. Good if that's your thing. ...
