WHAT'S INSIDE "AFGHAN JOURNAL"?
Throughout his deployment in Afghanistan, Sergeant Courter chronicles each exciting, routine, funny and tragic experience as it happens - as well as his perspectives on what it means to live day-to-day in a battle zone.
Sometime profound, sometimes critical, but always honest, he shares his thoughts and frustrations with the pace of change, the lack of resources for Operation Enduring Freedom, and his connections with family back home.
