Item description from seller
Hardcover. This gripping account follows the crucible of a young marine unjustly tried and convicted by General Court Martial only to be awarded full honorable discharge and medical retirement for combat distinction and wounds sustained in combat. After two years in Marine Prison, ten months isolated in complete solitary confinement with no fresh air or sunlight, he fought back against the cover-up reaching The Pentagon and the controversial Bush Administration during the height of The Iraq War sending a declarative message that he wasn't the soft target they'd envisioned.With the support of his extraordinary Marine Platoon Commander, a brave and courageous Naval Officer coming forward steadfastly and highlighting the gross injustice, and his family, a Marine Lance Corporal exposed a scandal that compromised The Department of The Navy and United States Marine Corps and foreign relations. Internal Department of Defense documents reveal a campaign of dishonor, under the guise of national security, how far those in power went to protect their interests, in light of the facts, at the expense of loyalty, honor and tradition. This Marine almost never told his story if not for miracle after miracle. This item is printed on demand.
