GREEN ON BLUE by Elliot Ackerman
Elliot Ackerman’s GREEN ON BLUE was reviewed in the Wall Street Journal, the Daily Beast, and the Huffington Post, which called it “remarkable…harrowing and finely wrought…, a powerful response by an American soldier to his experience in a country where almost any amount of power is overwhelmed by the racket.” The Daily Beast said, “when a voice speaks transcendentally through an artist, it may say even more than he intended. All readers should be glad that Ackerman gave himself to this one.”

The Wall Street Journal said, “Mr. Ackerman marshals his formidable experience of battle to elucidate Afghanistan’s long and complex relationship with warfare.” Scribner published the book on February 17, 2015.
