Description
A harrowing account of war and medicine, Code Red Fallujah is a firsthand narrative of the Battle of Fallujah through the eyes of Navy Lieutenant Donnelly Wilkes. In 2004, Wilkes was embedded with the 1st Marines Division as they launched a major assault on the city, and his experiences as a combat aid station doctor are both heart-pounding and deeply personal. As he recounts the chaotic events of that day, Wilkes shares his struggles to save wounded warriors amidst the chaos of rockets landing close enough to knock him off his feet. His skills, faith, and ability to endure were all put to the test in this war zone, where the lines between medicine and combat blurred. This is a gripping and unflinching account of one man's role in the Battle of Fallujah, scintillating combat trauma, and the spiritual challenges that pierced his journey.
