Every day more than 35 million Americans watch the evening news. Every day, more than 55 million Americans read a newspaper, and millions more read the weekly newsmagazines. Each and every viewer and reader is inundated with news about the war in Iraq, most of it very bad. More American soldiers killed and wounded, more car bombs, IEDs, rocket and mortar attacks, insurgent uprisings, Iraqi civilians suffering.
It's all true. And it's all terribly incomplete and unbalanced.
  is based on Rusty Wilson's first hand experience while supporting American soldiers as a civilian Morale, Welfare, and Recreation staffer in Iraq, and on the weekly columns he wrote for the Orange County Register. His work put him into daily contact with literally thousands of soldiers and other civilian workers. What he learned from them during his five months in Iraq, plus his own observations and insights, tell a unique story and give a sense of life in a war zone unlike any you've heard.
This book and the accompanying photos on this site paint a picture that goes far beyond the sound bytes and two minute news stories. Some of it is funny, some of it is sad, all of it is enlightening and thought provoking.
gives a non-partisan and completely original perspective on the war and the current situation in Iraq. |
