A legbátrabb amerikai katonák mondják el, mit éltek meg, brutális őszinteséggel, ahogyan rendszerint csak bajtársaik előtt tárulkoznak ki. Ezek az emberek Vietnámban, Irakban vagy Afganisztánban harcoltak. James Patterson, a világ első számú bestsellerírója és Matt Eversmann, az USA hadseregének nyugalmazott főtörzsőrmestere több száz interjút készített, ezekből állt össze a Bevetésen című gyűjtemény. Eversmann főtörzsőrmester abban a Ranger egységben szolgált, amelynek sztoriján A Sólyom végveszélyben című Ridley Scott-film alapul. Mit jelent egyenruhát viselni, bevetésre menni, elveszíteni egy barátot, és milyen érzés hazajönni - ezekre a leírhatatlan pillanatokra világítanak rá ezek a beszámolók. Legközelebb, ha valaki köszönetet mond egy katonának azért, amit a hazáért tett, e könyvet elolvasva tényleg tudni fogja, mit is köszön.
