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.
