Sunset Tales From The New Iraq

Book Summary

Four people brought together by destiny and changed forever by Iraq recount their war experiences. In this first book of its kind, you will hear the voices that you have never heard before: Listen to Abu-Ahmed, a simple Iraqi teacher and farmer, as he recounts the tale of his capture, along with his son, by the Americans. Live with them through their imprisonment in Abu-Ghraib and Camp Bucca and watch him as he struggles to stop his son from becoming a suicide bomber. Listen to Lieutenant Davis, an American soldier on his first tour of duty in Iraq, as he tries to do his part in restoring the image of his country after the damage done to it by the Abu-Ghraib abuse scandal and as he watches, along with the whole US Military, their efforts being derailed by the insensitivities, blunders and atrocities of a few misguided soldiers. Listen to Bob, the contractor, who went first to American as an Iraqi with a single mission: kill as many Americans as he can, only to return to his native country as an Iraqi-American working for the military and torn between the loyalty of his blood to Iraq and the loyalty of his mind to America. Listen to Sheikh Zeeb, the insurgent, as he goes on a bloody Jihad and an endless vendetta against the Americans and their Iraqi allies and as he does what he does best: recruit and brainwash the young men of "the lost generation" for his suicide missions. Four lives brought together by destiny, and changed forever by Iraq.
