"Everything you know about Iraq is wrong" is more than just the
sub-title of the startling upbeat memoir "Victory Denied." It is
the truth. The war in Iraq IS over, the insurgency is reeling from
hammer-blows and Iraq's future is bright. What's wrong in Iraq is
the American national media reporting only the worst of the worst,
day after day, ignoring every iota of good news and improvements in
the country. "Victory Denied" takes you all over Iraq as a part of
the Joint Visitors Bureau official dignitary escort team, into
meetings with US and Iraqi Generals, US and Iraqi governmental
officials, Iraqi citizens, and the soldiers who are there getting
the job done. It is a remarkable memoir, written
boots-on-the-ground by a deployed Kansas Army National Guardsman
with a professional background in media, government and politics.
These skills served him well as he navigated the halls of the US
Embassy in Baghdad, crossed vast deserts to opulent palaces, and
toured up the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers to the very borders of
Iran and Syria, dodging diplomats and Congressional aides as well
as bullets. Even more it is the personal and moving story of an
American soldier leaving home to do his duty when called.
Aeschliman is erudite and thoughtful - a true renaissance man -
writing as eloquently on the diverse subjects of history, botany,
zoology, astronomy, sociology, philosophy and religion, as well as
military affairs and current events. Additionally this book is a
love story, a deeply touching account of a husband, father, son,
and community leader in love with his wife, children, parents and
his city, state and the United States of America. "Victory Denied"
will shock the public discourse overIraq and will change the face
of our 2008 Presidential campaign.
