About the Book

Days after Ali Dashti's graduation from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Kuwait was invaded by Saddam Hussain's Army. Urged to volunteer as a civilian translator for US troops in Operation Desert Shield by the Kuwait Embassy, Ali soon found himself not only fighting on the frontlines, but also promoted to the rank of sergeant in the US Army. Written in a style that is open and honest, Sergeant Over One Week gives readers an up-close and true account of Desert Storm from the perspective of a Kuwaiti citizen and international student who volunteered to serve in the US Army.
