Soldiers of Orange is a powerful, heartbreaking novel
about veterans of the Iraq war coming home and being
treated for their wounds in a California hospital.
The story is told by Jeremy Witherspoon, an ex-Marine
who knows all the soldiers on the ward, a collection
of oddball, yet heroic characters. Spoon, as he is
called, witnessed a brutal crime of war in Ramadi,
did nothing about it, and covered up the details. His
fear is one of discovery. One day a private
contractor named Skank shows up at the hospital,
realizing Spoon's worst fear. Critics have hailed
Soldiers of Orange as the Catch-22 of the Iraq war.
