Synopsis

"This book is an ethical will written by a father to his children just before he is about to go off, once more, to combat. It was prepared at the request of my wife, to leave for my children in case I am killed in combat. It sheds light on the moral world of the combat officer entrusted with the lives of men. It speaks directly to our times as the USA, Britain and others mobilized their armed forces, and sent their men and women off to battle in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is uniquely Middle Eastern, as it deals with the realities of this seemingly intractable conflict. I have led men into battle, through battle and to the end of battle, but you can never lead men out of battle. It always stays with you. I fight because my country is at war, but I choose to labor for peace because I know war will solve nothing. This book is about my life as a veteran combat officer and my quest to make peace around me. I do not fight for peace, I try to gently pick up the pieces of a world I shattered and mend them. This book is about what you do not read in the papers. This book is about what I want my children to know when my luck runs out."
