What follows in this brief report is a review and summary of the book The Right Fight by Chris Lynch. The items that will be covered in this text include an introduction to the book, the setting of the book, the main characters of the book, the plot of the took, the theme or message of the book and a conclusion that asserts whether the author did well and what weaknesses in the book and its narrative that might exist.

However, he quickly shifts from that sports dream to one centered on manning a tank and helping to win the war for his country.

Specifically, Roman is caught in the North African front and he ends up going rather deep into territory that is very nasty and very hostile. The fighting that Roman does see is preceded by a lot of training and waiting. However,…
