Endorsements for my Work: Thank you “He’s fearless…provides a candid, soldier’s-eye view…from the very unique perspective of being there with them for weeks and months at a time…delving deep into the human component.” —General David H. Petraeus, former commander of Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Director of CIA “Michael Yon’s voice is the voice of the soldier, often unfazed by what he sees, mission-focused and battle-hardened. These guys don’t scare easily, and they never let up, and Michael tells the story from their point of view.” —Brian Williams, Anchor, NBC Nightly News “Cuts through the fog of war…vivid…shocking and mesmerizing.” —The Boston Herald “Yon covers soldiers…the old-fashioned way: He goes down the back alleys and the bad roads.” —Joe Galloway, Author of We were Soldiers Once…And Young “…racked up more time embedded with combat units than any other journalist.” —New York Times “…I haven’t seen anything quite like the coverage in Michael Yon’s dispatches from Mosul…compelling narrative.” —Michael Barone, US News and World Report “His readers have learned what most Americans would not know from NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and NPR.” —Clifford May, former New York Times foreign correspondent “Michael Yon brings it….If you want to know what is going on in this war, read him.” —Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco, The Generals, and former military correspondent for The Washington Post “…infuriated his military handlers, even as [he] gave American soldiers a robust new voice.” —Los Angeles Times “And I reminded myself of something a writer friend, Michael Yon, once said to me, ‘Whenever the writing gets hard, it’s because your research is lacking. Get back to digging and learning. Then the words will flow.’” —Matthew Glencoe in the upcoming book, My Brother in Arms, the Inspiring Life of Mark Andrew Forester, and father of James Glencoe
