Whiskey Tango Foxtrot by Ashley Gilbertson
Presents the story of the author's journey from hard-drinking bravado to the grave realism of a scarred survivor. This book describes his experience with post-traumatic stress disorder, and grapples with the reality that Iraq - despite the sacrifice in Iraqi and American lives - has descended into a civil war with no end in sight.
"Ashley Gilbertson, a gifted and fearless photographer, has plunged into this darkest and most ferocious of battle-grounds and found beauty and horror and honor and truthScan the faces captured in these pages, of Iraqis and Americans, and of the predicaments they have found themselves in, and see and feel - in your gut - what it really means to be a human being in the middle of a place like Iraq." - from the Introduction by Dexter Filkins"
