Riassunto

With the same intensity that sparked the devoted Marine lieutenant and family man to reenlist in the wake of 9/11, Ilario Pantano brings a passionate new perspective to this updated edition of his “vitally important” (New York Post) and controversial memoir. In the newly added Foreword and Afterword that surround his chronicle from the front lines of the Iraq war and the notorious military tribunal that followed his shooting two insurgents in Al Anbar province, Pantano reveals the amazing journey that pulled him out of the despair and darkness of survivors guilt, and healed his psychic wounds: the uplifting story of his spiritual salvation through Jesus Christ. Pantano is on a new crusade: having lost too many brothers in arms to an epidemic of veteran suicides and alcoholism, he is fighting to save lives on the edge, and battling the ongoing assault on Christianity in America today. For Pantano, the original text of Warlord stands as a testament to a man damned by arrogance and self-importance—a man whom God called and changed forever, and a man dedicated to sharing that saving message with the world.

L'autore

Ilario Pantano enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17, served in Desert Storm, became a sniper, and trained with militaries around the world. Eager for new challenges, Pantano left the Marines and earned his degree from New York University in three years, studying at night while working for the premier investment bank Goldman Sachs. Hungry for creative success, Pantano began producing and consulting in groundbreaking documentary television, film, and digital media. Witnessing the attacks of 9/11, Pantano fought to return to the Marines and, as a 31-year-old lieutenant, led an infantry platoon in Iraq. Pantano was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in August 2005. He lives with his wife and children in North Carolina.
