John Peters’ raw and candid personal account of the 1990-91 Gulf War paints a very different picture from the sanitized version most Americans are accustomed to. Drawing on his real life wartime experiences and personal photographs, John Peters guides the reader through the day-to-day life of a grunt infantryman. Whether it’s racing across the desert in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle during the ground war, clearing enemy bunkers, capturing and patching-up Iraqi prisoners, dealing with long stretches of monotony and boredom or going months without bathing, his unique blend of humor and sarcasm entertains and gives the reader a glimpse of Army life in wartime.
