Adam Harris was the least likely person to enlist in the military: he'd grown up marginalized as the sole Jewish kid in his public school in Ottawa, and learned early on not to trust authority. After moving to the US as a teenager with his family, Adam's life took a serious downward trajectory. Kicked out of school, fired from his job, and lured by a life of crime, he did the unthinkable: intent on salvaging his life, Adam joined the army. "Unflinching and full of humor."--Sonja Larsen
