Shortly before he left for Iraq his father asked him to tell the story no one else seemed to be telling, the story of the people sometimes constructed as our friends and other times our enemies: the Iraqis. \"But what about them?\" he asked. \"Who's their good guy? Who's their George Washington? That's the story you want to find. Talk to them.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Armstrong's searing memories about his relationship with his father, his fiancé, and his SEAL team companion take the reader on a nosedive ride from a historically Black college in the American South straight into Baghdad, the burn pits, and the desert beyond the mysterious Haditha dam.
