This book tackles the big question of injuries while at war. The main character Private Matt Duffy suffers A Traumatic Brain Injury or as it is called TBI while at war in Iraq.

Eventually he realizes that the other members of his squad are in the same room as him some of their names are Justin and another ones name is Wolf. Matt wakes to a man in military uniform and the man gives him the Purple Heart. In the beginning he fall in and out of conciseness because of his TBI. Eventually he is able to stay awake and figure out that he was still in Baghdad but in what the nurse described as the Green Zone. Matt remembered that him and his squad were instructed to patrol Sadr City. Sadr City is an insurgent hotbed. He learns that his doctor s name is Dr. Kwong. Justin says that he thought that matt was a goner. He said that matt was on the reciving end of a RPG. Then Justin tells matt he whole story that they were chasing a taxi and it got away from them so they went into an abandoned house and went up to the top floor and started to scan the horizon for snipers and then the RPG hit the wall 20 feet away from Matt. After a little while a female officer came in and told him he needed to call home before the army can put out a press release of what happened to Matt and is squad. So he calls home and tells his mom what happened to him.

a letter to the author

Dear Bernard Cornwell,

I am writing you about your book redcoat I have a few questions number 1 how much of this story is based in fact and how much is based in fiction? Number 2 is Sam Gilpin a real person or someone you made up? Number 3 going back to the characters how many of them are real? Number 4 do you have any other books like this one coming out? Number 5 how many more books like this do you have out?  Finally number 6 will you be coming out with a sequel for this book and when will this book be coming out? Thank you for your time to answer all these questions.

You’re Fan,

Michael Houston

Redcoat

I Think this book is more for a modern auidience. It follows A young British Redcoat named Sam Galpin and his brother Nate. It is set in Autum 1777 During the revolutionary war. I like this book because it is historic and i love history books the best thing is it is full of action right from the begining. The First page says this" The bloodybacks stole through warm darkness to the killing. a hidden moon silverd chasms of cloud and offered a wan glow which silhouetted the jagged spikes of the pine tops on the western horizon. The eastern sky was unclouded; a pit of blackness studded with the clean brightness of stars. The paths beneath the trees  were dark, utter dark, a blackness in which long files cursed softly."  Again if you want to look at this book its called "Redcoat."
