When Lyle Jeremy Rubin first arrived at Marine Officer Candidates School, he was convinced that the “war on terror” was necessary to national security. He also subscribed to a strict code of manhood that military service conjured and perpetuated. Then he began to train and his worldview shattered. Honorably discharged five years later, Rubin returned to the United States with none of his beliefs, about himself or his country, intact.

As a former Marine, I can say that Rubin nails it. He offers brilliant description of Marine Corps culture and the culture of masculinity that runs through it. Unlike so many other veteran memoirs, Rubin doesn't take any assumptions for granted. He guides us through a rigorous interrogation of the belief system that lead him to the Corps and to war. There are no tough-guy battle scenes, here. No self-congratulatory, triumphalist retelling of victories. It's just an honest interrogation of the beliefs that brought so many of us to war.
