Where Cowards Go to Die is an enthralling personal plunge down the rabbit hole of the Global War on Terror.\" — Peter Zeihan, New York Times bestselling author of The End of the World Is Just the Beginning\n\nIn the darkness of war-torn landscapes, where honor is tested and the line between bravery and cowardice blurs, a former soldier, awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, takes readers on a harrowing journey in his haunting and visceral memoir.\n\nBenjamin Sledge, a seasoned combat veteran who served a portion of his time under the Special Operations Command, departs for Afghanistan shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11 but returns home shattered. Haunted by his experiences in Afghanistan, he embarks on a multi-year odyssey wrestling with mental health, purpose, and faith, which eventually drives him to volunteer for another combat tour in Ramadi, the deadliest city of the Iraq War.\n\nWith raw honesty and unflinching detail, Sledge exposes the complex emotions and moral dilemmas faced by soldiers caught in the crucible of war. Through his evocative prose, readers are transported to the battlefield, where the weight of life and death decisions hangs heavily on every step.\n\nSledge's narrative voice, characterized by a rare blend of poetic eloquence and unfiltered authenticity, captivates readers from the first page and holds them captive until the very end. Throughout the memoir, he vividly captures the reality of the men and women who learn to fight without remorse, love each other without restraint, and endure the high cost of returning to a country that no longer feels like home.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 168451164X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ00E28T_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sledge, Benjamin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
