'The Act for Valor'

Would you die for your brothers?

By Jacob G.

The Act of Valor is a war novel presented by Tom Clancy. The authors are George Galdorisi who started out his career as a naval aviator and started as a writer in 1978. The second author was Dick Couch was a former Navy SEAL and a CIA Maritime Operations officer and a former military author. Act of Valor is about two CIA agents who were on a trip and one of them was beaten to death and the other one was captured and tortured by Taliban. So the Navy sent out there most elite team of SEALS to go and rescue the POW (Prisoner of War.)  After they get to rescue her a war starts between the Taliban and the military, which occurs to a lot of bad stuff to happen.

          The things that were alright to me about the book were that it had a lot of detail. It had a lot of say about the Taliban and how they had plans to take over the military, but failed. The things I didn't like about the book was nothing really it was such a great book because it was a good plot and it was written well and I felt like I was actually there with them in the wars they went through. I also like how it opened up the book. They started out on a sniper mission that was silent.

          If I were to recommend this book to anyone, I would probably recommend it to people who like war books and who are familiar with Tom Clancy novels about war and secret ops missions. This book would also be recommended to people who are in the military who just like to sit down with a good novel while there at base or there overseas. The movie wasn't quite like the book but it was an alright movie. I would recommend you read the book before you watch the movie or you won’t get the book. So if you would like to read the book ,read it.
