"A hair-raising tale of men in battle. House to House is about as raw and real as it gets."  Evan Thomas, assistant managing editor of Newsweek

"Will satisfy readers who like their testosterone undiluted, a precise, hour-by-hour account of the fighting, featuring repeated heroic feats and brave sacrifice from Americans. "Publishers Weekly

"House to House is a terrifically realistic account of the hardest kind of combat known to man. Staff Sergeant Bellavia puts you right there with his men as they see it. This is a must read." Gunnery Sgt. Jack Coughlin, USMC (ret.), author of Shooter

"David Bellavia is the legend from Iraq. He went house to house in Fallujah, killing the terrorists-alone! MUST reading for all grunts." Bing West, author of No True Glory

"David Bellavia has distinguished himself through both his profound leadership on the battlefields of Iraq and his compassionate and dedicated efforts to build public support for his fellow soldiers." Veterans Hall of Fame website

This is the personal side of battle, where emotion, courage, and strength are stretched to the limits.

In one of the most compelling combat narratives ever written, Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, Army infantry platoon leader, gives a teeth-rattling, first-hand account of eleven straight days of heavy house-to-house fighting during the climactic second battle of Fallujah. 

His actions in the firefight, which included killing five insurgents in hand-to-hand combat, earned Bellavia the Bronze Star, the Silver Star, and New York state's highest military honor, the Conspicuous Service Cross.

He has been nominated for the Medal of Honor and for the Army's second highest combat medal, the Distinguished Service Cross.
