Summary:

"This book is the jarring coda to Colonel Seth Folsom's nearly thirty years in uniform--the last twenty of which he spent deploying to the Long War in Iraq and Afghanistan. The story of Folsom's command of Task Force Lion--a "purpose-built" combat advisor team--and his frenzied 2017 deployment to Iraq's Al Anbar Province, Nothing Here Worth Dying For lays bare the complexities of modern military advisor missions at the twilight of America's longest war"-- Provided by publisher.
