This is what happened when those 15 young men became leaders in war.\n\nFilled with drama, tragedy, and personal transformations, this is the story of a unique brotherhood. It is a story of American rugby and a story of the U. S. Army created through intimate portraits of men shaped by West Point’s motto: “Duty, Honor, Country.”\n\nSome of the players deployed to Afganistan and Iraq, some to Europe. Some became infantry, others became fliers. Some saw action, some did not. One gave his life on a street in Baghdad when his convoy was hit with an IED. Two died away from the battlefield but no less tragically.\n\nJournalist Martin Pengelly, a former rugby player himself, was given extraordinary access to tell this story, a story of a brutal sport and even more brutal warfare.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1567927114\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1567927114.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pengelly, Martin|McMaster, H.
