"...when an anti-tank mine tore off his right foot, the warriors of jihad in Iraq thought they had neutralized one of their most resourceful, determined foes.

"They were wrong.

"Refusing to let his injury stop him, Captain David Rozelle roared back into action, returning to Iraq as commander of an armored cavalry troop. He became the first amputee in recent military history to resume a dangerous command on the same battlefield."

Back In Action, Captain David Rozelle's new book of limbless derring-do, sounds like it might be just my kind of book.

Except that it's published by bonkers right-wing publishing house Regnery, the company that brought you the best-selling John Kerry election year smear job, Unfit for Command.

Back In Action is billed as "an astonishing story of courage, determination, heroism, and bedrock patriotism."

I think I'll give it a miss.
