One Weekend A Month is an irreverent look at the first modern American war to extensively rely upon Reservists as combatants. Through the eyes of an eight-man civil affairs squad, Team Jaguar, the Iraq War is stripped of its righteous veneer and revealed to be fear, suffering, and chaos.
Major Trevanthan, the Jaguar Team leader and small town attorney from Pennsylvania, becomes disillusioned with the ill-planned and poorly executed US mission to impose democracy upon a society that does not value the concept. Searching for meaning in his environment, Trevanathan resolves to save a critically ill Iraqi orphan.
As his well intentioned efforts are repeatedly frustrated, the increasingly cynical officer learns that in war, the enemy is not only the opposing military force; sometimes it is the self-interest of your own superiors and the indifference of the society you are trying to help.
This is a tale of sacrifice, loss of faith, and redemption set in the land of diminishing returns - Iraq.
"Craig Trebilcock has written an incisive, biting, unflinchingly honest tale that illuminates the real stories of our misadventure in Iraq.” - Bernard Edelman, Editor of Dear America: Letters Home from Viet Nam.
The author is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was decorated for valor. As a JAG and Civil Affairs officer during the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq, then Lieutenant Colonel Trebilcock coordinated reconstruction of the Iraqi legal system in Southern Iraq. His purpose in writing this book is to reveal the side of the Iraq War that neither the general Press nor the White House show the American people.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
