A novellette ( 9000 words) about the Iraq War, and the exhilaration and heartbreak of leaving it behind, based on the author's experience. The first story of a series. "An honest look at the everydy realities of war - a must read. - Nolan Peterson, conflict reporter, The Daily Signal "Skaskiw's story about a man coming home from Iraq mirrors Hemingway and Tolstoy's stories about men dying. Convoy Home is almost intolerably sad, beautiful, honest, and true." - Adrian Bonenberger, author of Afghan Post
