Laughing Wolf writes a book
Our buddy, Laughing Wolf at Blackfive has written a book that he credits our own ROS for nagging him into publishing photos he took in Iraq which haven’t been published before. I know how he feels, ROS could nag me into eating barbed wire.
One of the opportunities that came with publishing A Different View: Travels with Team Easy, Iraq 2007 this way is the chance to do some good. The link I’m giving is a special one, that offers the opportunity for Cooking with the Troops to get more money, as 10 percent of the profits from this book will go to CwtT. Royalties to authors can and do vary by means of distribution, and this link gives a special percentage that will mean more for charity.
I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet (you’d think I’d get an advance copy, wouldn’t you?), but, knowing Laughing Wolf from our rum-drinking and cigar smoking days, I’m sure it’s pretty good.

Well, you COULD use a little more iron in your diet. Just sayin’.
I’ve got some great pictures of shit burning detail in Baghdad ’03.
Ben, funny: I included just such a photo in the book, when talking about the “obscene amenities” given the troops (and poking a stick into a certain eye, namely of the person who made that idiotic assertion).
Based on the synopsis at Createspace, you’ve written the book that nearly every Joe has said should be written, but never had the drive to do it.
I’ve promised myself the first Iraq book I’ll read will be The Good Soldiers, when I think I’m ready…..but I am intrigued with yours.
Congratulations.
HEY you there! Laughing Wolf! Speil check that cover title, lil bro….before it hits the market….Ain’t there ‘posed to be two(2)”f”‘s in that word “different”? Just saying…b-)
CI, it’s mostly photos not a lot of words.
Streetsweeper, there should be to ff’s in the title, hope so as it is what has submitted.
Street, thanks! There were three different designs submitted for the cover, one of which had the typo. Guess what part of the cover got picked up and was missed? Have stopped the presses while we get that fixed. Thanks!
Have a photo somewhere (if I can find it) of a camel we put in the showers during Desert Sheild….Top wasn’t amused!
Old Tanker, I would love to see that!
I will have to do some digging, If I find it I’ll be sure to let you know!
Thanks Old Tanker!
Good news this morning: Cover typo fixed, image updated at https://www.createspace.com/3843267 and trying to figure out how to get Amazon to update (and to get some interior photos up as well). Also, at https://www.createspace.com/3843267 have added to the page the comments from David Mecey (my mentor at Playboy), a very nice blurb from Damon Shackelford of DBS Comic (featured over to your right), and a short excerpt from the intro by JD Johannes and the foreword by Blackfive.
