in twenty thirteen by Anton Myerer. The novel Once an
Eagle has been called remarkable and astute study of the

of one soldier, Sam Damon and a fellow officer, Courtney Messingale.
The first military man, Damon puts everything else above his
own self interest, duty, honor, and the lives of the
many commands. Massingale takes a different route, advancing through the
ranks by playing the game, effectively, making the right connections
and cozying up to those in power in DC. The
(00:41):

novel is Once an Eagle by Anton Myerer. The Book
