The Iraq War is being fought by an all-volunteer army recruited from ordinary people. They enlist for a number of reasons - to earn extra income, to have an adventure, to defeat the enemy, to defend their ideals, to please their families, or to find themselves.These men and women are the stars of Tripp's powerfully moving book about the war and warriors in Iraq. "Surviving Iraq: Soldiers' Stories" is the result of a close collaboration between the author and thirty veterans who volunteered to tell their own unique stories. Readers will learn what the soldiers' lives were like in and out of combat in Iraq and Kuwait and how they viewed the war.Almost a half a million American soldiers have served in the four years of the conflict, but each story is unique, telling us what it is like to serve and to survive war.
