What happens when a career Marine officer stops believing in the
doctrine of the Corps and the official pretexts for war? In 2006,
Winston Tierney deployed to Iraq's Anbar Province with the Fourth
Reconnaissance Battalion, excited and proud to serve his country in
the fight against international terrorism. After several trips to
Iraq over the next nine years he returned depleted by hatred,
mendacity, alcohol abuse and PTSD, he felt he had "seen behind the
curtain"-and didn't like what he saw. This hard-hitting memoir
depicts the brutal realities of the conflict in Iraq at street
level, while giving a clear-eyed treatise on the immorality of war
and the catastrophe of America's failures in the Middle East.
