Description

This book presents a vivid account of the challenges of training the Iraqis to handle their own security. In blunt everyday language, Cole gives readers an unusually candid and often hair-raising glimpse into the reality at street level as he and his colleagues navigate dangerous sectors of Iraq dodging the bombs and bullets aimed at them by wannabe heroes. It paints a brutally realistic picture of the bleak and perilous road ahead.

He served a one-year tour of duty working for DynCorp as an international police trainer in Iraq and will be redeployed for another in 2008.
