![]() What sets his odyssey apart from Howard E. ![]() Prefacing each chapter with a provocative “Choose Your Own Adventure”–style scenario (“ What do you do?”), he describes how similar situations ultimately led him to join the military, impelled by a belief that it’s better to help and protect others from danger than to provide aid after the fact.
