• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What happens when a career Marine officer stops believing in the doctrine of the Corps and the official pretexts for war? This hard-hitting memoir depicts the brutal realities of the conflict in Iraq at street level, while giving a clear-eyed treatise on the immorality of war and the catastrophe of America's failures in the Middle East.
