Above all else, this book tells the unvarnished truth from a senior non-commissoned officer's point of view.OP MEDUSA IS PART OF OUR HISTORY AS A NATION, AKIN TO NORMANDY, PACHINO AND HONG KONG IN TERMS OF COURAGE, SERVICE AND TOUGHNESS.- General Rick Hillier, OC, CMM, ONL, MSC, CDIMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN...THIS IS A MUST-READ ACCOUNT OF THIS GENERATION'S VIMY RIDGE.- Brigadier-General Rob Delaney, OMM, CDJOHN BARNES IS ONE OF THOSE RARE GENTLEMEN WHO MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON JUST FOR HAVING KNOWN HIM.- Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Sprague, MSM, CDJOHN BARNES IS A LEGEND IN THE ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT.
