“He was America’s Lawrence of Arabia.”<br />
—Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman (Ret.)<br />
This is the stirring account of U.S. Army captain and Arab linguist Travis<br />
Patriquin, who unleashed a diplomatic and cultural charm offensive upon<br />
the Sunni Arab sheiks of Anbar province, the heart of the Iraqi insurgency,<br />
galvanizing American support for the “Sunni Awakening,” the tribal revolt<br />
against Al Qaeda. This is the true story of a man who loved Iraq, and a<br />
soldier who helped engineer a turning point of the Iraq War.<br />
“Compelling...a carefully reported and briskly written account.”<br />
—Los Angeles Times<br />
“Impressive feats from an impressive soldier.” —Kirkus Re<strong>view</strong>s<br />
“He was an extraordinary young man.”<br />
—Sheik Abdul Sattar Abu Risha,<br />
Founder of the Iraqi Awakening Movement<br />
