Desert Norm: A Journal/Novel About the Gulf War
Articulate and gripping historical fiction set in the Gulf War. This harrowing and hilarious story features the voice of Marcus D.Norm then a lower ranking enlisted black soldier and college graduate. In early January 2001 near Desert Storm's ten-year anniversary, Marcus hears the Islamic chanting of an Iraqi next door neighbor. That melody-plus the irony that a once sworn enemy is now a friend-leads Marcus Norm to rediscover his hastily written 1991 war journal; and add details from memory. This, so he could leave a more accurate legacy of his experience for his experience for his teen stepsons.
