Don't miss the new table of contents over at Michael Yon's blog. For new readers, it's an excellent way to get acquainted with some of the finest combat journalism of our generation. It's also much easier to track down certain posts such as his famous "Gates of Fire" dispatch or the touching picture in "Little Girl."
The title "Gates of Fire" is a reference to the book of the same title by Steven Pressfield. I first read Gates of Fire in 1999 or 2000; it's one of my favorite historical fiction novels of all time. It's also a common book in military circles, on professional reading lists and popular in several military units.
