Synopsis

A sobering and very human depiction of war, post war, military life, valor, heroism, passion, and success. This is not your average macho war story. Quest for War spans a 15 year career in Special Operations and contains the only firsthand accounts of Operation Viking Hammer, the 2003 battle against Ansar Al Islam in Northern Iraq, the Joint CIA/Green Beret Advanced Force Operations (AFO) prior to the “shock and awe,” and special operations in the Balkans. DoD Pre-Publication Review Case Number: 15-S-2150
