Three Pounds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244455601)

Five Marines. One blood oath. And the three pounds of pressure that changed everything.

Inspired by true events, THREE POUNDS is the raw, uncompromising story of Drazen, a Croatian recruit who fled the collapse of Yugoslavia for the chance to earn the title of U.S. Marine.

Written as it was lived-in English, Croatian, Spanish, and French-without translations. You don't just read about these men; you are dropped into their world, hearing them exactly as they hear each other: in the chaos of the jungle and the silence of the aftermath.

THE STORY It started at Parris Island in 1995. Five brothers forged in the heat of the drill field, tested over six years of survival across the globe. They were more than a unit; they were a wall of meat and bone.

Then came the Congo. A crater in the jungle. A choice made in a split second that Drazen can never take back.

He returned, but he didn't come home. As Drazen drowns in the memory of what happened in that crater, the men who bled with him have one final mission: Keep him alive.

Some weights can't be carried alone. Are you ready to feel the pressure?
