Reviews
Although he doesn't like the term, Mark is a true American hero. Battle Ready is a well-written journey from training to combat to recovery. --Howard Wasdin, New York Times bestselling author of Seal Team Six Battle Ready is a compelling account of a remarkable American's journey in the military. Mark Donald's journey is unique and contains many lessons in life for everyone to reflect upon. There is no bravado and self-serving intent in this book. It is written from the heart from an American hero, and that alone makes it worth reading. --Wade Ishimoto, Former Senior Advisor to Assistant Secretary of Defense, Special Operations / Low Intensity Conflict
