"For six weeks in 2003, Russ Bryant used his camera to chronicle every aspect of daily life for Marines in Iraq and Kuwait: blinding sandstorms threatening to topple tents and men alike; Scud missile attacks sending them scrambling to their bunkers; sniper fire crisscrossing convoys into Iraq; shelled-out tanks, armored vehicles, and buses littering the road to Baghdad; medical personnel attending to the next wave of injured; and chaplains leading congregations in song and prayer in makeshift desert chapels. These are the Desert Dogs, the Marines of Operation Iraqi Freedom"--Cover flap.
