Taylor Jr. and his brother Marines are assembled into a new reaction force that is immediately tested in the fire of a bloody conflict known as Operation Beaver Cage.  After a traumatic first figtht, they push through back-to-back operations with little time to rest or reflect.  Those who survive will return home ensnared by everything memories of a real, but entirely surreal, nightmare.  Now after more than fifty years of holding everything in, Taylor shares his experience in explicit and often horrific detail and with an reverent honor for those Marines who did not live to tell the tale.  Taylor reveals what it truly means to walk the path of a warrior, to sacrifice, and to live a lifetime with the memories of a war, seeking answers to the question: Was it worth it?" - back cover.
