Desert Dogs

Strange Country | Desert Dogs

Max Flanagan was eighteen the first time he went to Iraq. Thirty-eight years later he’s back in the same desert, a sergeant again. He has a fire team of men young enough to be his sons, a mission that comes down to one clean shot, and the ghosts of the men he lost riding along for the ride. Over one cold night in the Hamrin Mountains, four soldiers argue about God, the Union, and a name one of them won’t answer to.

Desert Dogs picks up where Long Haul left off: what a man gives up for the people he loves, and what the war asks of him in return.

Contains war violence, strong language, and depictions of PTSD.
