Praise
“Armed forces continue to operate in uncertain and complex environments and this story is an insightful and powerful look into the challenges and judgments faced by a young sniper deployed to the battlefield of Iraq.”
– Brigadier General Jeffery L. Underhill, U.S. Army Retired, (Iraq Veteran)
“After the Iraq invasion, a military lawyer tests military justice by defending an American soldier accused of a war crime. A revealing, real life, courtroom drama, reminiscent of A Few Good Men.”
– Professor Hunter R. Clark, Director, International Law and Human Rights Program, Drake University Law School
“This book is a strong caution for all military commanders who would consider judging the warriors who run toward the sound of gunfire. Front-line actions should be judged from a front-line perspective, not for how those actions may play in the news.”
– Dave Earp, Former U.S. Navy SEAL Officer, USNA ‘97, BUDS Class #230, (Iraq and Afghanistan Veteran)
“Saving Sandoval gives an inside look at the scrutiny soldiers face on the battlefield and the politics involved in modern day warfare.”
– Major Chris Ophardt, U.S. Army, Public Affairs Officer to the Secretary of the Army, 2016-2017, (Iraq Veteran)
