The Iraq I Knew... Book I: Into the Storm From Saddam Hussein to Weapons of Mass Destruction to Al Qaeda in Iraq
"There's nothing like having your work recognized."
Entering book awards contests is sort of like playing the lottery: "You gotta play to win." In 2025, it was the first time I entered The Iraq I Knew... into book award contests. Although I thought my work was worthy of recognition, it's even better that a board of judges felt the same way. The awards ranking and the certificate both led to the book award narrative pages, and the book cover leads to the Amazon product page. Please look for Book II in The Iraq I Knew... series, The Search for WMD.
