Overview

"An edgy, gripping report from the front lines by a young veteran and cast member of ""The Real World: Brooklyn"" Ryan Conklin enlisted in the Army at age seventeen, following 9/11, and joined Angel Company. As a turret gunner with the famed 101st Airborne ""Screaming Eagles,"" and a member of the famed ""Rakkasans"" regiment-the most decorated regiment in the U.S. Army-he endured hellish conditions in the war-torn city of Tikrit, Iraq. When he returned to the States, he became a cast member on ""The Real World: Brooklyn"" in 2008. That came to an end when he received his notice recalling him to duty. ""An Angel from Hell"" is a gritty, blunt, and laughout-loud funny war memoir from the grunt's perspective. Conklin reveals what the Iraq war is really like, day to day-the misery, the boredom, the absurdity, the horror, and even the moments of grace. With stunning candor and wisdom beyond his years, Ryan Conklin has documented a complex and unavoidably life-changing experience for his generation."""
