The American Terrorist (American Terrorist Series Book 1) by Jeffrey Sabins takes us deep inside the Iraqi conflict, with Marine Gunnery Sergeant Jared Tremble.
Jared joined the army straight out of high school and is now a veteran of numerous campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and even the Horn of Africa.
He is well respected and extremely good at his role as part of a Marine Corps unit.
Jared, however, has had enough.
He feels the government and the army top brass have been lying consistently to the troops and that they should not even be there, fighting in some foreign land against an enemy that is simply trying to live its purpose and faith.
The crunch time has come for Jared and he has decided on an audacious plan to try to gain some meaning in his life.
Jared will walk out of camp one night and join the Army of Islam to fight against his former brothers-in-arms - Jared will become a traitor.
Bereft and lost, he sees this as the only way to put some meaning back into his existence.
He is tired of fighting for cowards and liars who use the troops on the ground as their proxies to gain power and influence over the region.
Gunnery Sergeant Jared Tremble is about to go rogue.
