Synopsis
*Disclaimer* This is not a book on PTSD, at all. This book is about, what some may call, the alternative explanation.
Picked up by a larger publisher--the retitled, second, and final edition of the cult hit, Spent Shell Casings.
Created as a counterweight for all the politicized and ghost-written books about the Global War on Terror, No Joy is the transgressive memoir to set the record straight! Dark. Hilarious. Disturbingly Honest--this collection of short stories from your average frustrated American teen turned one of its most elite brand of warriors, No Joy rips the veneer off the thank-you-for-your-service Boy Scout façade.
Centered on the 2004 Battle of Fallujah, this mosaic of meditation and madness asks the necessary question: what really draws modern young men to war?
