Story
A powerful, compulsively thrilling, vivid, and moving tribute to the experience of war and PTSD, The White Donkey tells the story of Abe, a young marine recruit who experiences the ugly, pedestrian, and often meaningless side of military service in rural Iraq. He enlists in the hope of finding that missing something in his life but comes to find out that it's not quite what he expected. Abe gets more than he bargained for when his journey takes him to the Middle East, in war-torn Iraq.

Amazingly Relatable

An amazing, relatable rendition of one Marine's journey. Uiarte beautifully captures the typical grunt upbringing and persona of the modern infantryman. Abe's experiences give insight to the humor, suspense, frustration, disappointment and patriotic roller coaster of the endless wars.
Thank you for bringing awareness to the silent battle many endure from exposure to combat. A must read for all!
