"Swoff"), a third- generation enlistee, from his sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, where he's sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck sack on his back, while moving through Middle East deserts with no cover from the intolerable heat. As well, he advances with no protection from the Iraqi soldiers--and there's always a potential enemy sighting, just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves on humor and camaraderie as they tread the blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand, against an enemy they can't see, for a cause they don't fully fathom..Audience: Para maiores de 15 anos.Subject - Topical Name: Médio Oriente -- História | Guerra do Golfo -- 1991| Current location | Home library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
