One of my favorite books as a child. I read it when I was 11. And recently read it again to my 7 year old. For obvious reasons, i experienced the story through the lens of the 11 year old protagonist the first time. But now, in my 40s I couldn’t help ...more

Man, I tried to like this book. It started off decent, but the blatant and incessant bias was too much for me. There is nothing close to an opposing perspective here, more of a singular narrative propped up by a great deal of second hand sources. The ...more

"Re-read with PBA Book Club. Just as good as the first time around. What a book.

Wow. This was a strange one for sure, but I seriously enjoyed it. It seems a bit bizarre and disjointed as you’re reading it, but the further you get into it you realize " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Leo Jenkins  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Great men are not made by way of moderation. Those poets, musicians, athletes, entertainers, and all who we’ve come to admire never capitulated to temperance. Their iron forged in the fire of excess. To be weak is to give in. To be strong is to abstain completely, but to be great is to indulge in all the pleasures and pains of life, to swim through the drowning tumult and turbulence and fear.”
Leo Jenkins, First Train Out of Denver

“Humor is the coffee in a soldier’s cup; the darker the blend, the greater the morale boost.”
Leo Jenkins, Lest We Forget: A Ranger Medic's Story

“John Stuart Mill said, "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
Leo Jenkins, Lest We Forget
