A bracing amalgamation of devastating humor and brilliant cultural observation, in which Gabe Hudson fearlessly explores the darker implications of American military power.
"Weird, wonderful, and worrisome.โ โThe Washington Post Book World
โDear Mr. Presidentย is a war book like no other. Itโs as if Salvador Dali had rewritten All Quiet on the Western Front.โ โUSA Today
Everybodyโs Gulf War Syndrome is a little bit different. Or so believes Larry, who returns home from Desert Storm to find his hair gone and his bones rapidly disintegrating. Then thereโs Lance Corporal James Laverne of the US Marines, who grows a third ear in Kuwait. And in the audaciously comic novella โNotes from a Bunker Along Highway 8,โ a Green Beret deserts his team after seeing a vision of George Washington, only to find a new callingโadministering aid to wounded Iraqi civilians; heโs hindered only by the furtive nature of his mission and an unruly band of chimpanzees.
