Ghosts of War by Ryan Smithson
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.
At the age of nineteen, Ryan Smithson enlisted in the Army Reserve and was deployed to Iraq as an engineer. He returned to school and received an AAS in criminal justice. Specialist Smithson is unsure if he will be called upon again. He currently works as a mobile unit assistant with the American Red Cross and lives in upstate New York with his wife.
