The Price of Freedom, which is part one honorable Marine/Veteran's memoir of a riveting wartime experience in Iraq and other part political commentary, offers a clarion call to freedom loving people in the world, in particular Americans, Iraqis and Nigerians. With candor The Price of Freedom sheds light on the Superman myth of the U.S. Marine, and why for some in the armed services it has become awkward to open up and share battle scars. Kingsley Uzukwu, has crafted a powerful cathartic work, which honors fallen soldiers and promises to be balm for some loved ones, for others an unleash of salty tears and yet for another an aha moment or even still a battle cry. He offers an authentic voice, crying in the wilderness. He speaks in plain terms of how Iraqi Freedom has impacted us all to become "casualties," He paints with broad strokes the tender lives of World Trade Center casualties, the uncensored lives of Marines and delicate blossoms of friendship and love. He weaves an unforgettable account, sometimes hauntingly eerie. He fittingly portrays Marines as responsible leaders and salutes his Marine comrades in penning The Price of Freedom. He showcases the full complement/leadership skill set, including intelligence, communication, technology, decision making and problem solving in tactical environments, possessed by Marines. With surgical precision he describes our troops and their rigorous training to adhere to appropriate rule of engagement and escalation of force. The author addresses moral and ethical dilemmas (e.g. What difference, if any, exists between killing and murder in war?) coupled with leadership beyond national boundaries, though he points out a U.S. visa to be at a premium in Nigeria and highlights the prize that full U.S. citizenship holds for others in the world.
