My only regret about Mr. Haigler's book is that I had thought to
write my own book about such an experience, and Mr. Haigler has done
a far superior job to anything I could hope to convey. He's given me
precious little new information to relate to an audience.

"131 Days" is a must read for anyone who wants to know what it's like
to be a line soldier and medical provider on the modern, but desolate
battlefield.

Now I understand what he experienced during his time there. Mr. Haigler's accounts have given me insight into my husband's experiences and those of thousands of our wonderful men and women called to serve. Mr. Haigler gave me a better appreciation for what they do every day and I love my husband more for the sacrifices that he has made.

I hope everyone has the opportunity to read this book, it will give them a better appreciation of our service men and women. Hopefully with that appreciation, one day they will get the respect and recognition they deserve and not have to live with fear for their family's wellbeing because they were following orders.

Twelve years ago CW2 Tom Haigler was attached to the unit that would spearhead the 7th Corps into Iraq and annihilate the Tawakalna Division of Saddam?s elite Republican Guard. As a Physician Assistant his mission was to ready not only his medics, but himself, to care for the more than 200 casualties the ground war promised. 131 Days was created from his daily journal and gives a first hand account of what the medics in a frontline aid station face. There were many aspects to the war fought in Iraq. One was witnessed daily on CNN; precision guided missiles, spectacular explosions, the burning skies of Baghdad. Another; the 100 hour ground war, where not only are we impressed with what modern weaponry can inflict on the human body, but how much damage the human body can withstand. The last is the battle of the mind; the emotions, the fear, the anger, relief, the guilt. This is the aspect of the war he describes. 131 Days is an important reminder of what soldiers face on a personal level when combat is inevitable.
