"A Different View: Travels With Team Easy" Now on Kindle; Helps Cooking With the Troops

In 2007, my good friend and Cooking With the Troops pardner Blake Powers embedded with "Team Easy" in Iraq. Camera in hand, Blake chronicled a little-documented aspect of the war: not the combat, but the 90-99 percent of the time that is tedium or boredom.

Blake has compiled his photos into a book, A Different View: Travels With Team Easy, Iraq 2007. Good soul that he is, Blake has pledged 10% of the profits to benefit Cooking With the Troops.

"I work with soldiers on a daily basis and many friends and family have deployed in the past few years. But still, my ideas of their time there comes mostly from what I see and hear in the media. Mr. Powers presents a very different picture of the soldier's time in Iraq than I had been exposed to. It is beautifully photographed, a visual feast; his insightful comments add to the experience. Definitely worth the purchase price, and then some!"?

The good cause contribution is... icing on the cake. Again, as EmmDee would say: Get thee with the quickness!
