Phil Klay, Uncertain Ground

The author's a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served thirteen months in Anbar Provice, Iraq, from January 2007 to February 2008, during the George W. Bush administration's "surge" in counterinsurgency warfare --- which ultimately brought the country back under control before the Obama administration threw it all away. 

He's the author of the award-winning novel, Redeployment. 

Now he's out with a new book, Phil Klay, Uncertain Ground: Citizenship in an Age of Endless, Invisible War.
