    About this audiobook

    Ryan A. Conklin enlisted in the U.S. Army at age seventeen, following 9/11, and joined Angel Company. As a turret gunner with the famed 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles" and a member of the famed "Rakkasans" regiment-the most decorated regiment in the U.S. Army-he endured hellish conditions in the war-torn city of Tikrit, Iraq.

    After he returned to the States, he became a cast member on The Real World: Brooklyn in 2008. That came to an end when he received his notice recalling him to duty.

    An Angel from Hell is a gritty, blunt, and laugh-out-loud funny war memoir from the grunt's perspective. Conklin reveals what the Iraq war is really like, day to day-the misery, the boredom, the absurdity, the horror, and even the moments of grace. With stunning candor and wisdom beyond his years, Conklin has documented a complex and unavoidably life-changing experience for his generation.

      I appreciate the frank analysis of the everyday life in Iraq as a infantry man and Ryan's common sense approach to dealing with the stress. Ryan did a nice job with the book by making it interesting, humorous, insightful, and truthful. I am glad to hear that he seems to have overcome some of the trauma caused by his experience in Iraq by writing the book. I hope his second tour of duty goes well.
