Compelling Insights from the Gulf War
He Helped Liberate Kuwait. Now He’s Liberating the Truth.
Back in 1991, Saddam Hussein made a big mistake. He invaded Kuwait. Naturally, the U.S. government panicked, looked around, and said, “Quick—send in that one guy with great hair and a can-do attitude!”
Thus began the heroic, absolutely-sort-of-true journey of the man who would become the unspoken lynchpin of U.S. foreign policy—the author.
“Memories from a Culturally Insignificant War” is the gripping, side-splitting memoir you didn’t know you needed. It’s like Saving Private Ryan, but if Private Ryan was a sarcastic twenty-something with perfect follicles and a tendency to narrate military maneuvers like an infomercial.
In this epic tale, you’ll discover:
- How the author fought tyranny, dehydration, and military-issue MREs—simultaneously.
- Why his hair could have defeated Saddam on its own.
- How one man bravely took credit for a group effort and lived to brag about it in hardcover.
- What happens when you mix war, sand, ego, and a VHS copy of Top Gun.
Critics (mainly his aunt) call it “laugh-out-loud funny” and “surprisingly profound.” Some say it’s a war story. Others say it’s a comedy. All agree it’s a lot more entertaining than reading an actual history book.
If you’ve ever wanted a front-row seat to Desert Storm—with a narrator who treats international conflict like a Coen Brothers script—this is your book.
Buy now. The Middle East didn’t solve itself, but at least you’ll be laughing about it.
Exploring unsettling experiences as a soldier during Desert Shield and Desert Storm
Do you think you've heard it all? The book explores the effects of PTSD on the author's life and how it has rippled through his relationships, careers, and personal growth—the author's tumultuous and dark adventure through Desert Storm will leave a lasting impression.
This funny coming-of-age story offers a unique perspective on the aftermath of war in Iraq and the importance of mental health support for veterans—a lighthearted look at the horrors of war and its effects on individuals.
