THE SURGE
Engine Books (2019) After a tour in Afghanistan and a brutal wound, Larry Chandler was done. Then came the 2007 troop surge and a redeployment to Iraq. With only five weeks left on their tour, Chandler and the men he leads are assigned a dangerous mission. While his men crave action, Chandler just hopes they'll all make it home alive. "The Surge is a ready-made classic and deserves to be ranked alongside the war fiction of Hemingway, Mailer, and O'Brien." - David Abrams, author of Brave Deeds and Fobbit "In this remarkable debut, Adam Kovac has not only produced a vivid and compelling story about the reality of war, he's somehow conjured an allegory for where we are in American history." - Naeem Murr, author of The Perfect Man "Readers will come away from this book shaken, mad, stunned." - Eric Shonkwiler, author of Above All Men and Moon Up, Past Full |
