In this haunting fictional account, an Iraq war veteran contemplates the lives, including his own, devastated by the random violence of war. In Al Tafar, Iraq, twenty-one-year old Private Bartle and eighteen-year-old Private Murphy cling to life as their platoon launches a bloody battle for the city. Bound together since basic training when Bartle promises to bring Murphy safely home, the two have been dropped into a war neither is prepared for. With profound emotional insight, especially into the effects of a hidden war on mothers and families at home, 'The Yellow Birds' is a groundbreaking novel that is destined to become a classic.
