From liFE in America’s heartland to death in the mountains Of AfghanistanA young soldier from Kansas joins the Army to fight the Taliban after 9/11. What he experiences in war “ruthlessness, terror, guilt, inhumanity, betrayal” shatters everything he thought he knew about bravery, respect, dedication, loyalty and God. Could all of his assumptions have been so wrong? His journey from an idealistic Midwestern 19 year old to a disillusioned, conflicted, tormented but stronger man who finds hope and courage through the brotherhood of his fellow soldiers is a story of today’s reality of war.
