A novel by Byron Owen
In the third year of the Iraq War, a Marine CAAT platoon drives into the heart of Baghdad, tasked with escorting an NCIS agent into the city to uncover the truth behind a suspected war crime.
The rules of engagement are clear on paper, but the situation on the ground tells a different story. Every mission brings a new moral challenge. Every decision has a cost. Truth becomes harder to define the closer they get to it.
Bury My Heart in Baghdad is a story of moral conflict, loyalty, and transformation in a war that defies easy answers. With sharp dialogue, vivid realism, and deep emotional undercurrents, the novel explores what happens when good people are placed in impossible situations.
Told through the eyes of those who served, this is not a story about politics. It is a story about people. About what they carry. About what they leave behind.
