He Helped Liberate Kuwait. Now He’s Liberating the Truth.Back in 1991, Saddam Hussein made a big mistake. He invaded Kuwait. Naturally, the U.S. government panicked, looked around, and said, 'Quick-send in that one guy with great hair and a can-do attitude!'Thus began the heroic, absolutely-sort-of-true journey of the man who would become the unspoken lynchpin of U.S. foreign policy-the author.'Memories from a Culturally Insignificant War' is the gripping, side-splitting memoir you didn’t know you needed. It’s like Saving Private Ryan, but if Private Ryan was a sarcastic twenty-something with perfect follicles and a tendency to narrate military maneuvers like an infomercial.In this epic tale, you’ll discover:How the author fought tyranny, dehydration, and military-issue MREs-simultaneously.Why his hair could have defeated Saddam on its own.How one man bravely took credit for a group effort and lived to brag about it in hardcover.What happens when you mix war, sand, ego, and a VHS copy of Top Gun.Critics (mainly his aunt) call it 'laugh-out-loud funny' and 'surprisingly profound.' Some say it’s a war story. Others say it’s a comedy. All agree it’s a lot more entertaining than reading an actual history book.If you’ve ever wanted a front-row seat to Desert Storm-with a narrator who treats international conflict like a Coen Brothers script-this is your book.Buy now. The Middle East didn’t solve itself, but at least you’ll be laughing about it.
