(1 review)

Tells the story of Abe, a young Marine recruit who experiences the ugly, pedestrian, and often meaningless side of military service in rural Iraq. He enlists in hopes of finding that missing something in his life but comes to find out that it's not quite what he expected. Abe gets more than he bargained for when his journey takes him to the Middle East in war-torn Iraq.

Review of 'The white donkey' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A fictional account of a Marine's service in Iraq written by a Marine who served in Iraq. Change the details and it could be an account from Vietnam or Guadalcanal. War messes people up.
