The Road to Baghdad: A Battle Beyond Borders
$26.13
The Road to Baghdad: A Battle Beyond Borders by Chris Hyser is a compelling memoir that recounts the journey of a former Maryland State Police officer navigating the dangers of post-invasion Iraq as a contractor. Amid the constant threat of IEDs, ambushes, and insurgent fire, Hyser builds bonds with his fellow contractors, Iraqi civilians, and U.S. soldiers. One of the story's most poignant elements is his relationship with Rana, a Jordanian woman he meets during a brief respite in Amman. Their connection brings both comfort and tension as he grapples with loyalty to his family back home and the solace he finds with Rana in the war's bleak landscape. Similarly, his deep bond with Abe, a Kurdish interpreter scarred by personal loss and cultural conflict, reveals the human toll of war beyond the battlefield. The memoir captures the intensity of survival, the complexities of human relationships under extreme conditions, and the internal struggles that follow long after the mission ends.
