JOKER ONE NOW OUT IN PAPERBACK!
"By the time the platoon finally returns home, exhausted, scarred, and with fewer men than they set out with, Campbell's admiration for his men has become contagious. It's only then that you realize that Joker One isn't as much a story of war as it is a story of love. " -- Grade "A"
-- Chris Nashawaty,
Entertainment Weekly
"Joker One is heartfelt, thoughtful and exciting depiction of modern warfare that will surely stand the test of time. Campbell’s story is more than about war; it is about service, family, dedication and leadership."
--Paul Rieckhoff,
Founder and Executive Director of Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America, and author of Chasing Ghosts.
"So many "soldier books" emerge from America's wars. Many are overstated; this one is not. It is an honest down-in-the-dust-and-rubble look at young Marines."
--Stu Weber,
author of the bestselling Tender Warrior
awarded 3 bronze stars as a Green Beret in Vietnam
"If
you want to know what American fighting will look like in this century,
you need to read Campbell. Like the best stories, military and
nonmilitary, it’s a story about love, community, and a brotherhood.”
–David Lipsky,
author of Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point
“Joker One is the finest small-unit description of a platoon at war in Iraq. Hang on and cheer them on.”
–Bing West,
author of The Strongest Tribe
“Donovan demonstrates, in a very engaging way, truly authentic values based leadership; inspired by faith, anchored in discipline and lived out in true love for his men.”
