The Knife

Valor. Ross Ritchell’s debut novel titled, The Knife, offers 99% of Americans a glimpse at the valor of those soldiers we don’t know who are fighting our contemporary wars. Given Ritchell’s experience as an Army Ranger, we can assume that his novel is authentic to the experiences of our special forces. I was blown away by the skill with which Ritchell reveals the introspection and ambiguity that our members of the military deal with every day. Ritchell has great skill as a writer, and any reader who wants a deeper understanding of those who are fighting for us in our contemporary wars will find insight on these pages.
