People Other than Grunts is a true account of one soldier's triumphs, mishaps, accomplishments, and pitfalls. Myles Page tells a myriad of true stories spanning the course of 12 years of active duty in the United States Army and four deployments in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. He strays from the usual blood and guts tales of the average military based books and tells more of the behind the scenes shenanigans.
