Listen to an interview with Vermont Public Radio

Saber’s Edge is the story of a middle-aged Vermont firefighter called upon to fight in the worst place on earth - Ramadi, Iraq.  Saber’s Edge is also the story of the Green Mountain Boys of Task Force Saber: of comradeship and communion amid fierce street-fighting in a crucial theater of the Iraq War  (the eventual site of the “Al Anbar Awakening”). The author went from being a suburban dad to a combat medic traveling between platoons,  engaged in some of the fiercest  fighting of the war.
