"A beautifully written and memorable account of combat from the top down and bottom up as the 101st Airborne commanders and front-line grunts battle their way to Baghdad.... A must-read."--Tom Brokaw

For soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division, the road to Baghdad began with a midnight flight out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in late February 2003. For Rick Atkinson, who would spend nearly two months covering the division for The Washington Post, the war in Iraq provided a unique opportunity to observe today's U.S. Army in combat. Now, in this extraordinary account of his odyssey with the 101st, Atkinson presents an intimate and revealing portrait of the soldiers who fight the expeditionary wars that have become the hallmark of our age.

At the center of Atkinson's drama stands the compelling figure of Major General David H. Petraeus, described by one comrade as "the most competitive man on the planet." Atkinson spent virtually all day every day at Petraeus's elbow in Iraq, where he had an unobstructed view of the stresses, anxieties, and large joys of commanding 17,000 soldiers in combat. And all around Petraeus, we see the men and women of a storied division grapple with the challenges of waging war in an unspeakably harsh environment.

With the eye of a master storyteller, a brilliant military historian puts us right on the battlefield. In the Company of Soldiers is a compelling, utterly fresh view of the modern American soldier in action.

Great quality- thick and soft t-shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Pocket Description: Pocket
These are the softest, thickest long sleeved t-shirts ever. Highly recommend...cannot believe the price and that they are Amazon-basics...quality is that of a good popular brand name at three times the price. Bought one last week and washed it up and it's so nice that I bought several more. It is true to size- looks a bit on the big size until you wash it and then it's very true to size. Hubby is 6'1" (205lb) and wears an xl.

Yeah, they shrink, a lot.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Heather, Pocket Description: Pocket
I knew they would shrink but I needed to know if so on permanent press cycle. Well they shrink a lot. I bought two and they were very comfortable and soft. I'm not returning since Amazon made it clear they will shrink. I'm the dummy.

A Good Value
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Pocket Description: No Pocket
I really like these shirts and have ordered a number of them so far. They're warm and comfortable and are of overall good quality. They will shrink substantially, and the arm length will be reduced. That being said I just order them a size larger than what I typically wear and know that the sleeves will be a bit short. Otherwise they're a quality shirt. The material is thick, but not overly so, and they don't seem to fade even after numerous washes. These shirts are durable, well-made, and are a good value.

Great Quality, 100% cotton, buy 1 size larger. I’m 100% happy!
Size: Large, Color: Black Charcoal Heather Stripe, Pocket Description: Pocket
I will be buying more of these. I knew they were 100% cotton so I bought a large when I normally wear a medium. After I washed it in warm water and dried it in the dryer, it fits perfectly. The cotton is of great quality not thin and flimsy. I expect to get plenty of wear out of this t-shirt. Also, it did not fade. I recommend buying one size larger.

Quality.
Color: Dark Indigo, Size: 34W x 29L
This pair Lee jeans, made on Mexico, fit perfect , zipper works great, 35.96 cost works for me. The pair of Smith jeans , zipper a struggle to make it work, zipper short in length, made in China, 51.62 does not work for me. You need to check quality of work from Chinese made products.
