The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell: An Accidental Soldier's Account of the War in Iraq

In the tradition of Michael Herr's Dispatches, a National Guardsman's account of the war in Iraq.

John Crawford joined the Florida National Guard to pay for his college tuition, willingly exchanging one weekend a month and two weeks a year for a free education. But in Autumn 2002, one semester short of graduating and newly marriedâ€”in fact, on his honeymoonâ€”he was called to active duty and sent to the front lines in Iraq.
Crawford and his unit spent months upon months patrolling the streets of Baghdad, occupying a hostile city. During the breaks between patrols, Crawford beganÂ recording what he and his fellow soldiers witnessed and experienced. Those stories became The Last True Story I'll Ever Tellâ€”a haunting and powerful, compellingly honest book that imparts the on-the-ground reality of waging the war in Iraq, and marks as the introduction of a mighty literary voice forged in the most intense of circumstances.
