Walk in My Combat Boots: True Stories from America’s Bravest Warriors
From #1 bestselling author and master storyteller James Patterson, and Matt Eversmann, First Sergeant, USA (Ret.), the decorated war hero immortalized in the film Black Hawk Down, come firsthand wartime experiences of the American military.
The sacrifices of service are indescribable, except by those who have made them. Their personal stories of battlefield life reveal:
The goal to “be ready every day, every single day,” and how that can quickly descend into chaos. The realization that every soldier must be “okay with dying, consciously or subconsciously, to be good at this job.” How “we all need to serve something bigger than ourselves.”
Men and women from every branch of the US military and every occupational specialty tell exactly how it feels to jump out of airplanes, to be boots on the ground, to shoot and be shot at, and to recognize that they might never get back home. “When the fear shows up,” explains a Marine Corps rifleman, “I tell myself I can do it, I will do it. And I do.”
Walk in My Combat Boots offers the honest words of our heroes, the true stories of our sons and daughters.

When is James Patterson’s book 21 of the Women’s Murder Club going to come out. I have read 1-20 and enjoy the series.
Thank you so much for sharing these upcoming releases! I like The Russian book, James Patterson is one of my favorite authors so I buy and read his every book. Finally, I will say that I enjoyed reading your article and I can’t wait for the publication of James Patterson’s books in 2021. I am going to share this article in my Facebook group.
Thank you so much for this excellent collection of stories, Tracy! I love to read, and I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never read any of James Patterson’s books (though I am familiar with who he is). I’ve always been intrigued by crime books and shows (mainly because I want to see justice served), and you have given me more than enough material to work with for the next several months (even years)! Great read! God bless you!
My husband is a James Patterson fan. He would probably like every book on this list. I am sending it to him now! He will probably want to start our son on the other series!
