If my WWII book, At First Light: A True World War II Story of a Hero, His Bravery, and an Amazing Horse, was a movie, the poster outside the theater might look something like this, given the positivity of every review so far:

• “Never before has a book moved me to tears, out of pride.”
  •  — Military Writers Society of America
• “Like a movie plot … stranger-than-fiction.”
  •  — U.S. News & World Report
• “Incredibly special and heartwarming.”
  •  — Baton Rouge Advocate
• “Like a melody building to a crescendo …. gains power as it proceeds to a moving conclusion.’
  •  — HistoryNet.com
• “Vivid detail … spellbinding and riveting … an inspirational story … an engrossing book.”
  •  — Gotta Love It Book Reviews
• “As much a historical document as it is a coming-of-age story.”
  •  — InRegister Magazine
• “The story of the largely forgotten southern European front of WWII.”
  •  — Colorado Springs Gazette
• “Don’t miss this heroic story.”
  •  — Chris Fabry Live
• “Incredible story of courage and sacrifice.”
  •  — Today’s Christian Living magazine
• “Unbelievable stories.”
  •  — Faith Radio Network
• “An emotional tale.”
  •  — CMDA Matters

These are my two favorite endorsements so far:

“This story is extraordinary: an almost forgotten hero, tough combat, tragic sacrifice, gripping aftermath, a marvelous horse, and an astonishing ending. Don’t miss reading this remarkable book. At First Light is a way for you to join me in remembering and honoring the story of our World War II heroes, those selfless Americans who put it all on the line downrange, day after difficult day, in crushing heat and numbing cold, in the toughest conditions, against the most challenging, resilient, often barbaric enemy to liberate Europe and to help safeguard our freedom and liberty here at home.” 

—Gen. David H. Petraeus, U.S. Army (Ret.) four-star general, former Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and former Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan

“I love World War II books, and none is better than At First Light. It’s like a combination of Band of Brothers and War Horse—or perhaps a mixture of Unbroken and Seabiscuit. A mesmerizing page-turner not to be missed.”

 —Pat Williams, co-founder of the NBA’s Orlando Magic and former general manager of NBA teams in Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, and the 1983 World Champion Philadelphia 76ers
