A Semester in the Sandbox : A Marine Reservist's Iraq War Journal Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Dozens of books about the Iraq War have been written by politicians, generals, snipers, and Special Forces operatives.

This war journal of an enlisted U.S. Marine reservist provides an un-glamorized narrative of a common soldier's deployment to Iraq, from notification of mobilization to final trip home.

The visceral experiences of combat are described in candid detail, along with the hazards of homesickness, boredom and loss.

In light of the Islamic State's continuing operations in the region described in the book, the author's story presents a poignant account of the failures so far of the War on Terror.
