YA) -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A tough but powerful look at one man's experience. -- School Library Journal (starred review) Smithson avoids writing either prowar propaganda or an antimilitary polemic, providing instead a fascinating, often humorous-and occasionally devastating-account of the motivations and life of a contemporary soldier. -- Publishers Weekly Unflinchingly honest. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), He lucidly recounts the intensity of battle and the pain of losing comrades.

Synopsis
In this extraordinary and harrowing memoir, follow one GI's tour of duty as Ryan Smithson brings readers inside a world that few understand. This is no ordinary teenager's story. Instead of opting for college life, Ryan Smithson joined the Army Reserve when he was seventeen. Two years later, he was deployed to Iraq as an Army engineer. His story--and the stories of thousands of other soldiers--is nothing like what you see on CNN or read about in the New York Times . This unforgettable story about combat, friendship, fear, and a soldier's commitment to his country peels back the curtain on the realities of war in a story all Americans should read., Ryan Smithson joined the Army Reserve when he was just out of high school. At age nineteen he was deployed to Iraq. His year in combat changed his life. This is his story. It will change the way you feel about what it means to be an American.
