Non-Fiction Memoir
In this unforgettable memoir, the Navy SEALs’ most trusted
translator—a man who is credited with saving countless
American lives and became a legend in the special-ops
community—tells his inspiring story for the first time. As the insurgency in Iraq intensified following the American
invasion, U.S. Navy SEALs were called upon to root
terrorists from their lairs. Unsure of the local
neighborhoods and unable to speak the local languages, they
came to rely on one man to guide them and watch their backs.
He was a "terp"—an interpreter—with a job so dangerous they
couldn't even use his real name. They named him Johnny Walker. They soon called him brother.
Over the course of eight years, the Iraqi native traveled
around the country with nearly every SEAL and special
operations unit deployed there. He went on thousands of
missions, saved dozens of SEAL and other American lives, and
risked his own daily. Helped to the U.S. by the SEALs he
protected, Johnny Walker's life is so remarkable that his
tale reads like fiction. But every word of it is true. For the first time ever, a "terp" tells what it was like in
Iraq during the American invasion and the brutal insurgency
that followed. With inside details on SEAL operations and a
humane understanding of the tragic price paid by ordinary
Iraqis, Code Name: Johnny Walker reveals a side of the war
that has never been told before.
