Product: Combat and Other Shenanigans: Tales of the Absurd from a Deployment to Iraq
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
War is hell…but sometimes it’s also funny as hell.
Combat and Other Shenanigans is Lieutenant Piers Platt’s firsthand account of his year as a cavalry platoon leader in Iraq. Wry, action-packed, and poignant, Combat and Other Shenanigans is the absurd-but-true story of the antics the world’s finest soldiers get up to when no one high-ranking is watching.

Interview with the Author
Q - What makes Combat and Other Shenanigans special?
A - There are a ton of great war memoirs out there today, and many cover the Global War on Terror / Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I don’t want to detract from any of those works, as they all tell an important aspect of the experience of being deployed. But my experience was a lot less action-packed and heroic, and a lot more about doing our best to get the job done, and keep ourselves from going stir-crazy in the process. We pulled some crazy stunts downrange when no one was looking. But the book is also a testament to the camaraderie and everyday heroism of the soldiers I fought with. I hope it's a realistic look at what the experience of war was like for the average combat soldier in Iraq.

Q - Why should readers give this book a try?
A - It's a fast, easy read - and it's laugh-out-loud funny at times. All of the stories are true. If you're a veteran looking to laugh and remember how ate up things were, or just someone wanting to get a better sense for "what it was like" for those of us that served, this book is for you.

Combat... is also a New York Times bestseller that has been downloaded more than 6,000 times, and has remained on the Amazon "Top Rated" and "Bestselling" lists in its category since publication.
