Update on Moment of Truth in Iraq

E-mail Print

We have sold all 5,200 signed copies of my new book Moment of Truth in Iraq, but I am making a special trip very soon to the printer to sign 2,000 more. I apologize for the slight delay in shipping. Once I have signed the additional books they will be shipped immediately.

Also, Amazon.com has been sold out, but a couple of large shipments are on their way, and Amazon will have books again soon. Moment of Truth hit #6 on the Amazon Bestseller List and then went out of stock. Bad timing!

It's great to be back in America, but I got measured today for new body armor and helmet. Won't be long until I am back over there.


Have a great weekend.

Michael

E-mail Print

This last summer, many of you helped to send over 30,000 emails of support to Marines in Iraq.

Now, as if the Taliban and Al Qaeda, bad weather, and lack of support here at home weren’t bad enough, the New York Times has published a one-sided view of the paratroopers tour in Afghanistan.
