IRAQ

"If you would like to know a part of the price others pay for freedoms you enjoy and/or what's really going on in Iraq, read with an open mind. Mine is just one story. There are many."

-A.J., U.S. Army Author A.J. offers a stunning look at the war in Iraq from the perspective of a soldier for the U.S. Army. Written in journal form, "Iraq, 384 Days for Freedom" describes A.J.'s time with the U.S. Army in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq. Beginning with his preparations to leave the United States and following him through his first glimpse of the desert, A.J. boldly shares his insights into a war that has split the nation. Frank and honest, he describes the 'view from the trenches" from his first three months of deployment. Often contrary to what the media reports, A.J. provides the unvarnished truth of the harsh reality that a soldier faces each and every day.
