Better History By Writetrak Here's what I like about this book; it's written in the first person by someone who lived it, so what you're getting here is a veteran soldier's/security contractor's view of an untold segment of the war in Iraq. Simon Chambers served as a civilian security contractor/mercenary running dangerous protection details for U.S. DoD personnel and others along some of the most dangerous routes in the world, like the five mile drive from the Baghdad Airport to the Green Zone. What kind of dangers? How about a road where it isn't impossible to find 16 IED's along the way, or enemy snipers, or those who execute well planned ambushes or ambushes of opportunity? Chambers, a veteran British Paratrooper, career military man, and former Blackwater contractor, goes into detail about the hiring process in this new contractor's job, the comraderie of the operators who are in the bloody mix, and the petty or not so petty politics that demonstrate the need for the civilian security contractors. Is it polished history? No, but it's straight forward, honest history by someone who served in the arena that few would choose to enter or be qualified to serve on some first rate teams. Give me this history everytime. Give me the book that reads like a diary/log of observations, feelings, opinions and events of warriors, and those in the fight. We live in a world where too much of what we're supposed to know about military history is dictated by Hollywood, with actors mouthing lines written by scriptwriters who haven't served in a combat zone or arena. Like I said, I'll take the 'I was there' stories everytime. They may not have the gloss, varnish or pace of film or fiction but they have the bell ring of truth and gut level honesty that any ground pounding veteran recognizes and appreciates. Finally, there are some classic lines in the speech that Teddy Roosevelt gave at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1910 that, I think, might best sum it up. Roosevelt said, 'It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..." Chambers was in the 'arena' a few times and Keepers of the Gateway to Hell chronicles the experience nicely. Buy the book.

If you're looking for war porn or gung-ho nonsense about 'slotting rag heads' this book is not for you. If you're looking for a book that provides an intelligent, insightful, and sometimes humorous look into the world of PSD teams on the ground in Iraq then Chambers 'Keepers of The Gateway to Hell' comes highly recommended.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. you can imagine you are there By Nick I found i couldn't put the book down.The book is written like a the thoughts of simon are being written down as they happen and you are propelled along.I like books that describe the atmosphere and the scene, with just enough detail to keep you going. Long drawn out narratives bore me to hell.From fast action to the slow waiting for the action to arrive, you get so engrossed in the narrative that you cannot put it down.I read many kindle books on my tablet PCI will be looking forward to Simon's next book as 'Keepers of the Gateway to Hell' ends with the promise of more to come.Nick a new fan.
