THROUGH
OUR EYES
Author: Jesse Odom
Original Title from Bella Rosa Books
Live,
Die, Cry, Kill, Fear, Hope, and Cope
A
raw, boots-on-the-ground account of the Devil Dogs of Alpha
Company's march into Baghdad and the capture of Saddam's palace.
The first blood, the first lives lost, and each Marine's haunting
aftermath.
A raw, unfiltered
view of the early days of the Iraq invasion—and the haunting
aftermath.
In a story
taken from his personal war journal, a Marine infantryman tells
the tale of Alpha Company's march into Baghdad and the capture
of Saddam's palace. This is the hard-hitting, straightforward
memoir of the brave Marines—the first boots-on-the-ground
in Iraq-who paved the way with their blood, sweat, and tears.
The story of the first American to die in action in the Iraq
War. The account of innocent civilians killed in the crossfire.
The private repercussions—how young Marines cope with violent
death and killing.
In his own
words, unpolished and unrefined, rich with the voice and flavor
of a young Marine in first action, Jesse Odom, leader of Second
Platoon's First Squad, gives us a memorable and poignant tale
of innocence stripped away, of lives lost, of battle, bloodshed,
camaraderie, laughter and grief. And finally—a type of
healing.
Meet the
Devil Dogs of Alpha Company, of The Fighting Fifth Marines—their
heroes, their fallen in arms.
NOTE:
A portion of the proceeds from this book will go to the Chip
Wicks Fund, a fund to support the men and women who have fought
and served in Iraq or Afghanistan and now have Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder.
