Here&#8217;s what the pubicist says about his book;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A young officer is forced to deal with love, loss, and his own understanding of duty while fighting a savage enemy in the wilds of Afghanistan. Although fictional, this story is an honest, gritty, and often humorous portrayal of the realities of combat, and the toll it takes on those who fight. From the frustrations of a desk job to the responsibilities of a commander thrust into the thick of the action, Captain Chris Braddock is a man who must overcome his own personal demons to successfully lead his men into battle, and safely home. Written entirely in Afghanistan while the author served on his own combat tour, this story offers a unique and realistic look at our nation&#8217;s longest war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the Fourth of July, the book is free at Amazon, so if you need some reading material for today, go get it. It will remain free tomorrow, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Burgess, an Army Captain, who comments here often and sends us great tips, also sent &hellip; <a title=\"Another Day in Paradise\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30627\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Another Day in Paradise<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30627\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
