Description
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Review (★★★★☆ 4.5/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5/5) Nathan S. Lowrey’s U.S. Marines In Afghanistan, 2001-2002: From the Sea is a gripping and detailed account of the first Marine Corps ground operations in Afghanistan following the attacks of September 11, 2001. From a Catholic perspective, this work highlights the themes of duty, sacrifice, and service to others—virtues long honored within the Just War tradition. The Marines portrayed here demonstrate courage, discipline, and fraternity in the face of danger, reflecting Christ’s words: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13) The book does not glorify violence but instead reveals the burden carried by those entrusted with defending the innocent and restoring order in times of grave crisis. A powerful historical testimony to courage, sacrifice, and the moral weight of combat.
