Description
Armoured Cars in Eden. A president’s son at war within the land that was brand new day Iraq. That is the tale of a young American man serving in just a little documented force in an almost forgotten campaign. More remarkably, he used to be from a background of military tradition and adventure and the son of a former United States president. His war used to be against the Turkish Ottoman Empire, his service that of a volunteer within the British army, his familiar locations Negef, Falujah, Baghdad – exotic place names once again familiar to American citizens at war. His is a story of parallels and contrasts – of spiritual sensitivities, rivalries, civil unrest, occupying armies and conflict along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers almost a century ago. Roosevelt’s experiences conclude within the Argonne on the end of hostilities.
