A Friend of Unfair Park who read
my Memorial Day item points our direction toward
Monday's episode of Fresh Air, during which Terry Gross spoke with former Marine
Donovan Campbell about new book
Joker One, his recently published (and
well-received) memoir about his tours of duty in Iraq. (The interview was a rebroadcast of a March 5
Fresh Air.) A Princeton grad, Campbell and his family now live in Dallas; he's a manager at PepsiCo and
had been during his time in the service.
At left you'll find a good chunk of the book available for preview. Last month, Random House also made
a trailer for the book, and Grapevine-based Caffeinated Studios is responsible for
the book's Web site.
Dispatches and
A Rumor of War never had one of those.
