So Damn Insane

About the Book

War is so damn insane, and most views of war focus on the front line action. These 17 short stories provide a glimpse into the minds and lives of people who are part of the broader organization as well as those on the "enemy" side - their mind set and motivation for actions deemed beyond comprehension.
