Description: Candid memoir of facing extreme violence in Iraq's Triangle of Death with the 101st Airborne Division.

Brief description: Kelly Eads grew up in Cameron, MO and joined the US Army as an infantryman after high school. He deployed twice to Iraq, supporting counterinsurgency and counterterrorist operations. He was awarded as a Distinguished Member of the 502nd Infantry Regiment, a designation that he holds close to his heart. He lives in Kansas City with his wife and their two children. Kelly continues to serve his nation and community as a police officer, where he focuses on the safety of the areas he works in and still assists in counterterrorism efforts.

Review Quotes: "The ending is really why you should read Eads and Morgan's work because it shows the costs of long and multiple deployments."-- "Musings on Iraq"
