John Crawford joined the Florida National Guard to pay for his college tuition. One weekend a month. Two weeks a year. A free education. But in 2002, one term shy of graduation, Crawford was shipped off to the front line in Iraq. Once there he decided to chronicle his daily life as a soldier in all its brutal, terrifying and heartbreaking honesty. The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell introduces a powerful new literary voice forged in the most intense of circumstances. |A heartbreaking and perversely beautiful book. A defining expression of men at war.| - James Frey
