MORE FROM THE BACK COVER

Letting Go is an excellent account of a Marine before, during, and after 9/11. Through the eyes of Jeff Sands, he retells his story with brutal honesty, describing what possessed him to join the Marine Corps, his experiences while serving, to include deploying to Iraq during the initial invasion, and the demons he endured while trying to readjust to civilian life.

This book was begun as a diary of sorts. It was written to try and understand the chaos that exists inside oneâ€™s own head, especially after experiencing war and seeing its effects. It was flushed out over many sleepless nights, and refined over time with clarity. Itâ€™s more than just a story about war and struggle, itâ€™s a story about what compels someone to join the Marine Corps, risking his life for something greater than himself. Itâ€™s a story about how the Marine Corps molds not only menâ€™s bodies, but their minds. Itâ€™s a story about war, and its effects... good and bad. It's a story about heartbreak. And itâ€™s a story about trying to adjust to a corporate world out of touch with the values of the Marine Corps; a world without a purpose.

Follow Jeff as he takes you through the streets of Baghdad, giving you an unfiltered description of what he experienced and the injustice he saw. Then, watch him try to adjust as a civilian, eventually leaving behind his job, his marriage, and everything he owns, in order to pursue the ideals that were the reasons he joined the Marine Corps; ideals that were reinforced by war. See how he deals with his tortured mind, eventually teaching himself how to let go.
