I started out with Andy Mcnab and Chris Ryan. But then I wanted to read something about the minor wars that take place in our own backyard. Heroes are born on the battlefield they say. I dont think i agree anymore, not after reading this book. The worst thing is that we take the men and women in uniform for granted. We dont know what they do at night, or whos life they are saving. Why??? Cause we dont want to know. But one thing is for sure. They are out there every night, risking their life so that you could sleep safe at night. Reading Good guys were black gave me goosebumps and many sleepless nights. Its like when you was a young kid. Playing cops and robber on the backyard. But there is a huge line between now and then. I would like to call that line adrenalin,pain and blood. And from the first page to the last I was hooked. To read about Steves experience on the beat, makes my lips to curve up at both sides.But every time I finished a page,I realizing that this is not a fiction.This is the real thing.
