The only book about the war in Iraq by a soldier on the ground-destined to become a classic of war literature. John Crawford joined the Florida National Guard to pay for his college tuition-it had seemed a small sacrifice to give up one weekend a month and two weeks a year in exchange for a free education. But one semester short of graduating， and newly married， he was called to active duty-to serve in Kuwait， then on the front lines of the invasion of Iraq， and ultimately in Baghdad. While serving in Iraq， Crawford began writing short nonfiction stories， his account of what he and his fellow soldiers experienced in the war. At the urging of a journalist embedded with his unit， he began sending his pieces out of the country via an anonymous Internet e-mail account. In a voice at once raw and immediate， Crawford s work vividly chronicles the daily life of a young soldier in Iraq-the excitement， the horror， the anger， the tedium， the fear， the camaraderie. All together， the stories slowly uncover something more: the transformation of a group of young college students-innocents-into something entirely different. In the tradition of Tim O Brien s The Things They Carried， this haunting and powerful， brutal but compellingly honest book promises to become the lasting， personal literary account of the United States involvement in Iraq.
