John Antal is a soldier, military historian and leadership expert. He served 30 years in the US Army as a combat arms officer, senior staff officer and commander. He has commanded units from platoon level through regiment and served on corps and multinational staffs. In his post-Army career he has become a video game producer, military consultant and author of thirteen books and hundreds of articles on military and leadership subjects.
Antal provides readers with an excellent overview of the war as well as a critical reference … The significance of this book goes well beyond the conflict itself to encompass technical descriptions of many of the supporting systems and technologies, identification of evolving new technologies and presenting fourteen distinct lessons learned that set the stage for questions for further debate and study. 7 Seconds to Die is an excellent addition to a military reading list. * ARMY Magazine *
