Central Florida police officer Charles M. Grist is one of the few
Vietnam veterans to have served as an enlisted soldier in the Iraq
war. In 2004, he volunteered to be the sergeant-in-charge of the
protective service detail for an Army Reserve general in Baghdad.
Grist and his unit, the C.O.B.R.A. Team, were based inside
Baghdad's Green Zone, but their travels with the general led them
along the deadly roads of Baghdad, to the throne of Nebuchadnezzar
in Babylon, and through the picturesque hills of Kurdistan. It was
a fast-paced life of high adventure, filled with convoys, mortar or
rocket attacks, and the constant threats of ambushes or improvised
explosive devices.
As a Vietnam veteran, Grist knew that Operation Iraqi Freedom
would be his last war. He used his daily journal to record his
team's wartime experiences, to document the events that shaped Iraq
in 2004, and to preserve the heroic deeds of some of the Army
Reserve and National Guard warrior-citizens with whom he served.
That journal became the basis for this book.
