Opis

A window into the complexities of the Iraq War as seen through the eyes of a conservative-leaning West Point cadet and his liberal fiancee. A sweeping and gripping novel that brings stark clarity to the reality of war... On the last weekend in May, 2003, Tomas Jorgensen and Sunny Adler celebrate their respective graduations from the US Military Academy and Vassar. Just a week later, they're celebrating once again, this time their marriage at West Point's Jewish Chapel. They're full of joy and great expectations as they begin their lives together, he as a second lieutenant at Fort Drum and she as a teacher at a school serving military families. But before their first anniversary, they're tested in ways they never could have anticipated, as Tomas is deployed to fight in America's war on terror. This moving story of shattered illusions, courage and love in the face of suffering will resonate with readers from all points on the political spectrum, from those who opposed the war in Iraq, to the men and women who volunteered to serve.
