The Mysteries of Haditha is a war story unlike any other. This
riveting and hilarious memoir of M. C. Armstrong's journey into the
Iraq War as an embedded journalist pulls no punches and lifts the
veil on the lies we tell each other-and the ones we tell ourselves.
This is a story about both the strong women in Armstrong's life and
his road to true manhood. Armstrong's family was nearly ripped at
the seams as he struggled to secure his embed with Navy SEALs in
the Al Anbar Province in 2008. Armstrong's searingly honest
narrative about his relationship with his father, his fiance, and
his friend in the SEAL team takes the reader on a nosedive ride
from a historically black college in the American South straight
into Baghdad, the burn pits, and the desert beyond the mysterious
Haditha dam. Honest and vulnerable, tender but fearless, The
Mysteries of Haditha is an incredible coming-of-age story and a
unique glimpse into the world of the war on terror.
