Camera boy

by Fred Minnick · 2009

+ Want to read

Camera Boy offers an eyewitness account of the Iraq War from a soldier with a different POV—from behind a camera and typewriter. Unfortunately, being assigned to public affairs did not shield Staff Sergeant Minnick from the horrors of war—including the deaths of two close friends—or from the devastating effects of PTSD upon his return home.
