About the Book

This book contains the personal journey and incredible struggles of a combat tested Air Force Chief Master Sergeant. Reading this book is like taking a tour back in time to the peak of the war in Iraq. The reader will feel the stress of being under attack, know the agony of seeing brothers in arms being wounded and patched up, and most importantly, feel the pain a leader carries with them when troops are killed in action. During this journey, Chief Scott Dearduff and his commanding general lead thousands of Airmen stationed across the entire country of Iraq. During that 12 month tour of combat duty, 13 of their Airmen were killed in action. The chief details the struggles that a leader deals with during those most difficult of time. He also shares the internal battle that he felt by being at war again while his family waited for him at home, not really knowing if he would make it home again. This book is not about killing the enemy, but more about those who served and those who sacrificed to meet the demands of the mission. The reader will feel like they have been to Iraq when the book is done. It should be read by every mother, father, sister, brother, friend and family member of any US service member who served in Iraq. These stories, which are never told on the national news, will help you understand that there is passion and compassion in war time, even on the darkest of days.
About the Author: Scott H. Dearduff retired from the United States Air Force in January 2011 following more than 29 years of active duty service. At the culmination of his career he served as the Command Chief Master Sergeant for Ninth Air Force and United States Air Forces Central Command. He amassed more than 1000 days deployed to combat operations in the Central Command Area of Operations. Prior to his combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, he served in more than 20 countries around the world and has traveled to more than 50 foreign countries worldwide. His leadership skills were honed under fire during nuclear security operations, Presidential security, disaster relief operations, humanitarian relief, aircraft accidents and an active shooter response with mass casualties. Along the way he obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Management and a double minor in Criminal Justice and Business Management. His military decorations include the Legion of Merit, 3 Bronze Star Medals, Afghanistan and Iraq Campaign Medals with multiple service stars, and the Air Force Combat Action Medal among more than 27 total decorations.
