Description
8220Thmost bracingly honest, refreshing account
of the Afghan war8221(Sebastian Junger, New
York Times bestselling author) from a Marine
Corps Combat Cameraman and director of the
acclaimed documentary Combat Obscura.At just
eighteen years old, Miles Lagoze joined
the Marine Corps a decade after the war began and
found himself surrounded by people not unlike
those he8217dleft behind at home8212ailess
youth searching for stability, community, and
economic security. Deployed to Afghanistan as a
Combat Cameraman8212anactive-duty videographer
and photographer8212Laoze produced slick images
of glory and heroism for public consumption. But
his government-approved footage concealed a grim
reality. Here, Lagoze pulls back the curtain and
illustrates the grisly truth of the longest war
in American history. As these young men and women
were deployed to an unfamiliar country half a
world
away8212hitory8217s8220grveyard of
empires82218212they carried the scars of the
fractured homeland that sent them. Lagoze shows
us Marines straddling the edge of chaos. We see
forces desensitized to gore and suffering by the
darkest reaches of the internet, unsure of
their places in an unraveling world and set
further adrift by the uncertain mission to which
they had been assigned abroad. Whistles from the
Graveyard shows the parts of the Afghanistan War
we were never meant to see8212Afhan locals and
American infantry drawn together by their fears
of the ghostly, ever-present terror of the
Taliban moments of dark resignation as the
devastating toll of years in
war8217scrossfire reveals itself between bouts
of adrenaline-laced violence and nights of
reckless, drug-fueled abandon to dull the pain.
In full, vivid color, Miles Lagoze

shows us an oft-overlooked generation of young
Americans we cast out into the desert, steeped in
nihilism, and shipped back home with firsthand
training in extremism, misanthropy,
and insurrection.
