The Army investigated him, arrested him, and tried to break him. LT. Col. Jason Pike, now retired as senior executive in the Army==== is undoubtedly A Soldier Against All Odds. A decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, the author shares in this inspiring memoir how he survived 31 years in the service on sacred secrets. A genuine and frank account—the good, the very bad, and the very ugly—of his years in uniform. Starting from the bottom, as a private, and working his way through the ranks, Pike tells his story with wicked whit and shows the readers the price he paid for his service - as well as a glimpse into the adventure of life in the Army, including 9 years of living overseas.

Diagnosed at age seven with an acute learning disability and failing first grade that year, Jason Pike was sent back to repeat it. At age nine, he was diagnosed with osteomyelitis, a crippling bone disease dissolving the bone of his knee that added to his academic challenges and a significant physical disadvantage.
