When the Desert Storm conflict was declared over, U.S. soldier Peter Ford was ordered to stand by and watch as the Iraqi Republican Guard continued to commit horrific acts against its own people. But now, four years later, Peter Ford is no longer a soldier-and his former superior officer is no longer alive. Roberto Garza's murder has helped convince him that not even Washington can tell him right from wrong. And moving through the chaotic and ruthless world of postwar Iraq, Ford is making a new choice-to hunt down the men responsible for his nightmare, and find out the truth for himself...

This review is from: The Wrong Side of Brightness (Mass Market Paperback)
As the quote goes, "from the hell of war to the cool recesses of the mind", so does this book go from Desert Storm to civilian life where a former combatant struggles with an atrocity he witnessed as the war ended, and how to bring the perps to justice. It is a very entertaning story. It is clear that the author has extensive military experience and history, and he weaves them expertly throughout. Getting into the mind of the fighting man is a fearsome task, turning it into a great story is even harder. Bay has done both.

great story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wrong Side of Brightness (Mass Market Paperback)
Mr. Bay's foreign policy and intelligence expertise shines in this book. The story is quick and the topic makes it timely reading for anyone interested in current world events. The plot is "real world" in its complexity, but very interestingly ties together an engaging story. I highly recommend the book.
