Meet the brave warriors who are fighting this faraway conflict.

Damon DiMarco's Heart of War is an oral history generated from interviews with eighteen veterans of the current War in Iraq. It is told from eighteen unique perspectives by the fighting men and women who served and fought under the harshest of conditions in a land consumed by violence, where the line between a just war and an unjust one is often almost indistinguishable.

Heart of War does not sway toward a political polarity; instead, the subjects speak frankly from their own experiences, sharing their stories, airing their issues, and expressing their triumphs and disappointments alike. For the first time in any account of this war, all branches of the United States Armed Service are represented: the Army, the Marines, Air Force and Navy (including three by women serving in the military). Ultimately, one common thread links all eighteen of them: getting the job done and getting it done right.

No Atheists in Foxholes
by Patrick J. McLaughlin

In August, 2005, Patrick J. McLaughlin, the President's chaplain at Camp David, began a seven-month tour of duty in Iraq. Serving as a Navy chaplain with a Surgical Shock Trauma Marine platoon, McLaughlin's faith was tested in the unforgiving crucible of war. In January, 2007, McLaughlin returned for a second tour, this time for a full year. Every day, he looked into the faces of the dying and gave consolation to the wounded.

No Atheists in Foxholes is McLaughlin's poignant and insightful account of his two years on the battlefield. This is a book filled with the stories that never made the news, stories of heartbreak and courage, of faith questioned and faith found, stories of a man God seemingly surrounded by despair. Here, in this collection of more than 140 prayers and personal reflections, the spiritual lives of our military men and women serving in Iraq are explored and poignantly revealed.
