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.
• 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 listening to 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 audiobook.
