War is loud. What lingers is the quiet after. Silence Between Bullets takes you from dust-blown LZs to blackout barracks where jokes keep fear in check. The setting is Afghanistan. The story is memory. What people hold. What they lose. What they carry home.
Built from interviews, field notes, and declassified logs, these chapters move like missions. Kandahar at night. Helmand at dawn. A drone feed that will not leave the mind. You meet Marines, medics, interpreters, and a squad that learns the cost of loyalty in real time. The prose stays close to the ground. Radios. Checklists. The sudden crack that changes a life.
Why it matters is simple. War does not end when the shooting stops. This book follows the aftershocks with the same care it gives the fight. It looks at courage without romance. It honors grief without despair. For readers of Lone Survivor, Horse Soldiers, and Outlaw Platoon.
