Road Hunter in the Land Between the Rivers: a Soldier's Story of the Iraq War James E Lewandowski

"The moral structure, defining what is known to be right and what is accepted as wrong, quickly fades..."

Deployed to Iraq during the historic first rotation of the war, a soldier and his gun truck crew embark on an incredible journey protecting convoys traveling military supply routes. Tasked to provide military support, his convoy security team - Road Hunter One Six - encounters extraordinary challenges as the insurgents shift their disruptive aim from the coalition force controlled cities and infiltrate the once peaceful desert highways.

From the rolling plains of the Dakotas to the endless sand dunes of Iraq, the author opens his personal journal and guides readers through his team's experiences of perpetual struggle. Incidents gathered from assistance in over 270 convoy missions as well as numerous patrols to include aiding the legendary Black Watch near the Triangle of Death and a strange paranormal occurrence.

(This title details a firsthand account of the harsh, dangerous, and chaotic life of gun truck soldiers.)
