Robin Perry of Harlem, New York, has enlisted and been shipped off to Iraq. There, he and his Civil Affairs unit undertake a series of missions that lead to some baffling interactions with Iraqis. They help arrest an old man who Robin thinks may be innocent; they search the house of a seemingly harmless family and find bomb detonators hidden in the kitchen. Increasingly unsure of who is a friend and who is an enemy, Robin and his fellow soldiers are suddenly sent on their most dangerous mission: to rescue three kidnapped Iraqi children. Glossary.
