Description
by Colonel Burl W. Jr. Randolph (Author)
Recipient, 2025 International Book Award, Nonfiction - Adventure Finalist, Readers' Favorite"Although I left the fight in Iraq, the fight had not left me."
Colonel Burl Randolph, Jr., always felt that way after returning home from each combat deployment to Iraq, and it took him months to return to 'normal.'
In the series The Iraq I Knew...: From Saddam Hussein to Weapons of Mass Destruction to Al Qaeda in Iraq, he chronicles his journeys on each combat operation using remarkably intense and vivid stories.
In Book I: Into the Storm, newly promoted Captain Randolph described his emotional experiences from the alert notification to the grueling deployment to Operation Desert Shield. Fierce windstorms, scarce rainfall, and substandard living conditions characterized the harsh desert conditions in Saudi Arabia. They used "burn barrels" and "pee tubes" as bathrooms, contributing to some of the exposure to toxic elements.
Randolph recounted Operation Desert Storm in explicit detail about their dangerous and vital missions to help liberate Kuwait from Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi Army. Victory occurred through the costs of spilled blood, broken bodies, and the tormented minds of Soldiers.
