During the fall of 2002, tens of thousands of American troops were stationed in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, waiting for a war nobody was sure would come at all. This is the story of one such soldier. Specialist Hoffman is crazy, and he knows it. But that's not enough to get him out of the desert. His roommate extended his orders because he enjoys the extra combat pay. His other roommate is an aircraft mechanic, assigned to a tank maintenance facility due to an ancient clerical error. Together, the three experience some hilarious adventures while waiting for war.(Note: Book contains strong adult language. You know, like the Army.)

I found the book quite interesting. I couldn't put it down, I even skipped my afternoon nap but worth it. I kept my interest which is very hard to achieve! Kudos :)

I stayed up way past my bed time 2 nights in a row reading Waiting for War! I think anyone would find it a very enjoyable read - anyone who has been trapped in a stinking, hot pit in the sandbox waiting on xport "ANYWHERE ELSE! PLEASE, GOD! ANYWHERE ELSE THAN HERE!" will find it too hilarious and too true to put down.
