The Land of Unknown
This book was written in hopes the tragedy of Somali is neither forgotten nor repeated. It is dedicated to the brave men and women who went there as humanitarians and peacekeepers, but returned veterans of a brutal urban war. Most importantly to the Somali veterans, those soldiers who will never grow old and to their surviving families who painfully will.
