Thank you to St Martin's Press and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a story of three boys who all grow up to enter different sections of the American military forces.
Beau Wise gives us a glimpse into the home life experienced by himself and two older brothers, Jeremy and Ben. He relates how each of the brothers came to make their decision to enter the military and the impact it had on each of them. He tells of his relationship he had with his brothers, sister and parents and how the deaths of his two brothers affected his family.
This is a great look into the life of a military family and some of the sacrifices that very made.

I have been putting off reviewing this book because I don’t think anything I say will do this book justice. That being said, this is a must read! This is a beautiful book of brotherly love, love of their country, and the ties that bind them together in life, and in death. A story about sacrifices made, love and faith from a family who proudly served and sacrificed more than anyone should have too. I can’t imagine having to relive these things to get them written down, but I am so thankful Beau was able to do so. I know it will never be enough but thank you for your service and sacrifices. I have this family in my prayers. Please read this book! This story deserves to be told

What a wonderfully written story! I was taken back by the incidences of strong language that some of my friends may not appreciate or want to read. But because of the situations and because I am married to an Army Veteran, I know that strong language is just normal vocabulary and is expected. So if strong language is offensive to you, don't read this book. But if you can look past that and can enjoy the character of the story and want a real experience reading the story, then this is the book to read! It was a great book and I will give it a good review! It made me cry! It was so very raw and real it moved my emotions and I think that is what the author was trying to share.

My Thoughts:
This is the second book I’ve read about those who served in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
This topic touches my heart because my own son served in the military during the war in Iraq.

I have several thoughts about this book.
1.The first is what better person to pen the story and narrate then the brother who both served in the military and has fallen service family members. This brings a different perspective, rather than an author with no personal attachment to the war or of the experience of loosing a loved one.
Beau understands personally the sacrifice of serving in combat operations.
Since Beau was in the Marines, he understands the military language, training, the stress of combat, and the decompression time after a combat Veteran returns home. He also understands life post war and military.
2. Three Wise Men is told in a serious and somber mood, but there are moments of humor and fond memories shared.
3. Three Wise Men is not described as a Christian book, but there are several Bible verses included. For example: Isaiah 6:8, 1 Corinthians 13, Philippians 3:12-21, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 12:1-2, and 1 John 3:18.
4. I feel the book depicts a full-length picture of the three brothers.
5. The subject is told both in a chronological format, but it is also told retrospectively.
6. Three Wise Men is a testament for all of those who have served in the military during a time of war.

Why does this story matter?
Three Wise Men is a record of an exceptional family who gave the ultimate sacrifice. It is their legacy that demonstrates valor both on the battlefield and at home.

This is a book everybody should read. This book was an emotional read that will break your heart but at the same time make your heart swell with pride for this family. I can't put into words how good this book was. It shows the true meaning of love of country and how much our military sacrifice to keep us free. This is a story that stays with you long after you've read the last page. This book deserves more than 5 stars! Thank you to all our military for your service. Thank you St. Martin's Press via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

There are books that I struggle to review because I want the review to really do the book justice, and this one is one of those. It is not often that I cry through writing a review, yet here I am. This is a beautiful book of brotherly love, love of country, and the ties that bind them together in life, and in death. The writing of this book was so spot on, I felt gutted by the loss that Beau and his family has felt, but I also could see the love that went into this, and the pride that the brothers had in each other and serving their country.

This book tells the true story of 3 brothers growing up together in Arkansas and through their decisions that resulted in them all joining the military and serving during the war on terror. Jeremy served as a Navy SEAL, Ben in the Army, with the latter part of his career as a Green Beret, and Beau as a Marine. It is no surprise based upon the book description that 2 of the brothers are killed, leaving Beau the only brother left alive of the trio.

This book made me appreciate (even more) how much of a sacrifice the young men and women serving our country are willing to make in putting their duty above themselves. What makes this book unique is that it is co-written by one of the three brothers who made that same choice for himself, and it is written from that perspective. He grieves deeply with the loss of each one, but also feels like it should have been him. He not only shows the bond he had with his brothers by blood, but also his brothers serving alongside him. The guilt he feels by not being there for his fellow Marines, even when he is going through the most difficult times in his own life shows how much that bond truly means. But, I think the most telling thing is that he does not choose to focus on his own loss (and I imagine anger and bitterness) at losing his aspirations for his own career when he is taken out of combat in this book - he chooses to focus on memorializing his brothers, rather than focusing on himself.

Amazing book, wonderful, heartfelt account of the unbreakable bond of three brothers who all chose to put their country ahead of themselves. This book has touched my soul and made a mark on me - I wish there was a way to give this one more than 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This book was incredibly moving. Jeremy,Ben and Beau wise decided to join the military. The brothers unique bond and selfless commitment are a tribute to their heroism. Thank you for your service.

I received an advance copy of, Three Wise Men by, Beau Wise, Tom Sileo. After 9/11 three brothers decide to join the military. Only one survived. This is a sad but great story.

This story vividly shows the sacrifice of family members when they lose someone in combat. While heartbreaking, it was also a very good story. Everyone should have to read this book.

This took me awhile to read and I'm not sure why. It is a great book and I loved it but it was so heartbreaking. My husband is a disabled vet that suffers daily from PTSD and maybe that's why. I had to really read this in parts, digest it and come back to it. The sacrifices this family made for our country and the sacrifice these brothers made made me even more thankful for veterans. I think everyone should read this book so they too can be appreciative for our freedoms and those who gave all for them.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advanced ebook copy.

One often hears of the person that will run into the fire or danger but we rarely get the full tale or the scope of the person that actually does so. In this heartbreaking story we learn of the ultimate sacrifice a family can make during times of military conflict while also telling the tale of amazing heroism for two brave sons. Beau Wise starts this story with the telling of growing up with his brothers, to their desire to serve their country and the paths that they took to do so, to some of the experiences that they had while serving our country, to finding love and building families and then to their unfortunate demise while protecting their country and their beliefs. While reading this book it made me proud to know of these men as well as the other men and women that serve this country and our freedoms while sacrificing so much to do so.
