New York: Dutton, (2021) d. Hardcover first edition - \A story that starts out with "a platoon of mostly 19-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe.

Part war story, part legal drama, it is about identity in the age of identification. . .And about the power of a burgeoning surveillance state." Illustrated with color photographs.
