Blackdeath 23 is Robert's journal from the time he joined the Army on 9/11/2001, the day we suffered devastating attacks to our country, through two deployments to the war zone in Iraq. Re-live the day to day experiences with Robert, just as he lived them. Robert's daily journal will give you a realistic experience from his cockpit. His writings cover the entire spectrum, from the joys of simply receiving mail from home, living in harsh conditions, experiencing frequent enemy attacks, aircraft emergencies and losing a fellow pilot, to making the ultimate decision of pulling the trigger to end one life in order to save another. Robert states, "I never intended to write a book. It took over three years to complete. Some of it was extremely difficult to get through."
