The enemy is everywhere in war-torn Iraq, and suppliers and construction workers run the same risks as uniformed combatants: guerrilla attacks, suicide bombings, rocket bombardments, and road mines. This is the compelling story of Carter Andress and the unique methods his multinational team used to deliver vital supplies to coalition forces and help rebuild the devastated country. Armed to the teeth with AK-47s, sidearms, and bags full of grenades, these "contractor combatants" engaged in deadly firefights with the enemy while attempting to fulfill their mission and defend their own lives.

    Carter Andress worked for a year and a half in Iraq, co-founding and managing a company-AISG-that equipped American and Iraqi military units with everything from lamb chops to trucks.

A former U.S. Army Infantry Officer and graduate of Ranger School (Airborne), Andress has run his own international trade and business-consulting firm for 15 years, working in the former Soviet Union and the Middle East.
