CIVIL
LIFE AFTER THE FOREIGN LEGION
By Joel Adam Struthers
Joel’s honest depictions of the chaotic blend of high-octane danger, exposed tensions and constant improvisation that characterised the immediate period of reconstruction in war torn Iraq, immediately paint the picture. You can feel the stress of the environment like a tightly coiled spring, ready to explode. Those years of deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan seem a world away now but life was lived in a different ‘lane’ then, where death and destruction stalked your every hour. Joel brings this time into sharp focus, he cuts through the embellished, the fabricated and self-aggrandisement of so many accounts and captures the complex reality that existed.
