From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava

by Jay Kopelman and Melinda Roth

From the publisher:
In From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava, Jay Kopelman tells a story that is both tender and thought-provoking--candidly portraying the ugly conditions in wartime Iraq, while also describing his (and his fellow Marines') growing attachment to a scruffy stray puppy.

... a tale of radiant joy about Kopelman's efforts to safely transport Lava, the stray dog his Marine unit found in the wreckage of Fallujah - Publisher's Weekly

From LWBN:
This is the first softcover edition of a previously released hardback.
