Audible Editor Reviews
Written collectively by a group of enlisted airborne infantry men under
the pseudonym J. B. Walker Nightcap at Dawn details the counterinsurgency
in Iraq through an assemblage of these soldiers' real notes on their
lives. Jokingly conceived as an account of "the simple charms of soldiering",
what results is a firsthand account of the reality of Iraq through the
veil of "experiences, expressions, imaginations, and hallucinations".
glimpse into the grit and confusion of the counterinsurgency and its
otherworldly battlefields, encounters with local peoples, intense complexities
of daily life, and the reflections of the soldiers living it.
Publisher's Summary

Iraq and their candid opinions on fighting an insurgency. This book
is the result.
A group of U.S. soldiers emailed their observations and experiences
from Iraq and their candid opinions on fighting an insurgency. This
book is the result. This startling collection of emails is a thoughtful
and compelling narrative that carries the reader from the alleys and
concrete bunkers to the "majestic" army base. Along the way, the reader
is asked to consider the puzzles posed for a disciplined army engaged
with an enemy that hides amid - and indeed, targets - a civilian population.-
