An edgy, gripping report from the front lines by a young veteran and cast member of The Real World: Brooklyn
Ryan Conklin enlisted in the Army at age seventeen, following 9/11, and joined Angel Company. As a turret gunner with the famed 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles," and a member of the famed "Rakkasans" regiment-the most decorated regiment in the U.S. Army-he endured hellish conditions in the war-torn city of Tikrit, Iraq.
When he returned to the States, he became a cast member on The Real World: Brooklyn in 2008. That came to an end when he received his notice recalling him to duty.
An Angel from Hell is a gritty, blunt, and laughÂout-loud funny war memoir from the grunt's perspective. Conklin reveals what the Iraq war is really like, day to day-the misery, the boredom, the absurdity, the horror, and even the moments of grace. With stunning candor and wisdom beyond his years, Ryan Conklin has documented a complex and unavoidably life-changing experience for his generation.

This book was well written. Ryan allows us to come into his own life from the day he stepped foot on base for deployment until the day he stepped foot back on American soil. It is written from the veiwpoint of an American soldier. When reading this book it is like you are sitting across from Ryan himself carrying on a converstaion about his time spent overseas. You are not reading a book that just says "and this happened in Iraq" by some guy that has never been over there and has only heard it as hear-say. If you want to see what it is like overseas from the eyes of a soldier who is not afraid to say it how it is then this is a good book to read. I hope that when I say this there are others as well that agree with me but, thank you for your courage Ryan and all the other soldiers who are overseas now, were overseas, are going to be going overseas, and to thank the most those who lost their lives fighting for freedom. God Bless
