Synopsis:
This is the "New York Times" bestseller hailed as the definitive account of life as a soldier in Iraq. John Crawford joined the Florida National Guard to pay for his college tuition - two weeks a year, and a free education. But in 2002, one term shy of graduation and on his honeymoon, Crawford was shipped off to the front lines in Iraq. Once there, he was determined to get it all down, to chronicle the daily life of a soldier in all its brutal, terrifying and heartbreaking honesty. "The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell" introduces a new literary voice forged in the most intense of environments.
