Continued Regret: Details of the Failed Mission to Assassinate Saddam Hussein
Before there was "American Sniper" by Chris Kyle and before there was "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen, there was "With Deepest Regrets", the controversial and independently published memoir by former Army sniper Robin Michael Smith, which details the failed mission to assassinate Saddam Hussein.
"Continued Regret" is the follow-up to "With Deepest Regrets".
IN AN ATTEMPT TO PUT HIS TROUBLED YOUTH BEHIND HIM, Smith joined the U.S. Army. He became a scout sniper and a team leader. A few years into his military service, Smith was sent on a mission that changed his life forever. The failed operation led him into a world of contempt, disillusion, and strained images, which forced him to question his life and the world around him.

I love books. I read everyday. I love books that touch my soul. Books that make me cry or books that make me laugh out loud. I love books that take me out of my surroundings and place me somewhere I've never been and into situations I will never know. This book did that. It took me from my comfortable Dallas home. My home with food, central air, and running water. My home where I have friends and family a phone call away. I'm transported, magically to a hot rooftop in the middle of a desert. A rooftop where the only person I know (or think I know) within 1,000 miles is on that rooftop with me.
If you want to know the truth, read this book. If you want to continue to believe the lies, don't bother picking this book up.
The author is a talented, gifted writer. I admire his tenacity. I admire his determination to put the truth into words. I feel his exhaustion. I urge him not to give up. Never, ever give up!!!!
