About the Book

A Sailor in a Desert War:

In March of 2003, a coalition of countries headed by the United States invaded Iraq. Two months later, President Bush declared the end of major combat operations. It was almost a year later that the Navy recalled Paul Sherbo to active duty.

At that time, one of Paul's fellow Reservists was sure the war was winding down and Paul would be home in just six months. It wasn't winding down. He was not home in six months.

Admitting he was "not one of the 19-year-old American warriors kicking in doors in Fallujah," Paul says, it was nonetheless an expedition into unfamiliar territory. "I began this journey as a married father of three in my early 50s with a good job, a transplanted Iowa boy living and working in the Denver area. I was a captain in the Navy Reserve with a decent amount of sea-time on active duty behind me. None of this prepared me for a ground war insurgency in a desert.


About the Author: Paul Sherbo was commissioned in the US Navy in 1976, graduating from ROTC at the University of Kansas. He then served four years on active duty, qualifying as a Surface Warfare Officer. Paul commanded several Reserve units. He was recalled to active duty twice, once to serve as the Fifth Fleet's representative to Coalition Forces in Iraq. There he worked on a variety of issues, including rebuilding the Iraqi Navy, protection of Iraqi oil platforms and coordination among various Coalition forces. He retired from the Reserves after 30 years of service in 2006. Paul's commentaries on a variety of topics have been published in the old Rocky Mountain News, the Denver Post, Navy Times and USNI Proceedings. His book, "Unsinkable Sailors: The Fall and Rise of the Last Crew of USS Frank E. Evans," was first published by Patriot Media in 2009. Paul's is married to Diana Carlson-Sherbo (aka COMNAVSHERBO). Their son, Andy, is in the US Army; oldest daughter Katherine works in New York City; and youngest daughter Lenna is also in the Army. Paul has been a student of martial arts, even though he is old enough to know better.
