Product Description
The short stories of The Old Sergeant compile many different aspects of the human character, including inspiration, tragedy, honor and humor. He is fictional, but his life, and the lives of the men he commands, become very real to the reader as the stories come together as one. One life lived and some lives lost. Through the war in Iraq and reflections on past wars won, now a distant memory, the Old Sarge is someone who most everyone can relate to. There is a real-time sense in all of the stories told, to be embraced into the reader’s mind and heart. The lives of everyone, even the enemy on the battlefield, come into play in riveting reality and bring a sense of being a part of something bigger than the self. Teamwork and the full scope of humanity, in times of war and strife, give the reader a feeling of community and inspiration when Old Sarge comes to life in some of the most touching and poignant stories of war, love, humanity and duty.
