S. Army Special Forces and Military Police, Sgt. Joel Morgan U. S. Army Rainers War is an explosive novel about an experienced Marine serving in Iraq who has a lot of questions. As Chuck Rainer watches the brave soldiers around him die, he needs to know why the invasion began, and starts his own war to get answers! This action-packed story centers on a warrior who is concerned because nothing adds up. After his discharge, he starts digging for answers. Rainers War is a tale of courage, both on and off the battlefield. I would recommend people read this book. Even though it is fiction, it will open eyes to things that went on . . . It also gets people thinking, and if nothing else, the action and mystery makes it a good read. - Michael Clancy, U. S. Army, paratrooper, military police officer, Special Forces First-time author Gary Sullivan grew up in Boston and now lives on Cape Cod. He is a retired trade unionist and underground utility worker. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts and from the Harvard University Trade Union Program. He is now a community volunteer and plans to write a sequel. He says, The history of Boston is all around us Bostonians. When you stop to take it all in, it is truly amazing. Moving to Cape Cod has given me an inspiring, tranquil, and beautiful opportunity to be creative. The motivation for writing this book rose out of questioning the need for starting the war in Iraq. I was adamantly against the war because of the ease in which we entered and the lack of justification. In this contemplative yet explosive novel, Chuck Rainer is an experienced Marine serving in Iraq. He questions why the U. S. invaded, because to him, things just dont add up. It is too much to accept all the young soldiers around him being killed, without seeing a good reason for war. After his discharge, he runs for Congress to get answers. What he discovers will astonish you! This book is definitely worth the read. You would have to keep in mind of course that its fiction. It can give you so many aspects of what potentially could have gone on, not to mention the action and thrills that are in the book. - Tyler Jones, U. S. Army This book will give readers a prospective of one of the many possibilities that could have gone on with regard to the Iraq war, but if nothing else, the action and the mystery make it a good read. It would definitely give the public something to think about and the reason to get involved civilly in our democracy. - Michael Walsh, U. S. Navy As a soldier who served several tours in Iraq, I found Rainers War to be very refreshing and well worth the read. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore the potentials of how a war can start, and how and why young men and women are asked to risk their lives. - Sgt. Joel Morgan, U. S.
