"Chris 'risk-averse' Ayres saw journalism as his ticket to schmoozing with celebrities and penning pompous opinion pieces. Instead he landed a plane ticket to Iraq." "When his boss offers him an assignment embedded with US Marines on the front line in Iraq, he's too cowardly to say no. He soon finds himself camped in the desert, blinded by sandstorms, surrounded by military machismo on all sides. He decides he wants out. But this, his greatest act of cowardice, will almost kill him."
