Code Nam: Johnny Walke: The Extraordinary Story of the Iraqi Who Risked Everything to Fight with the U.S. Navy Seals Book Information:

As the insurgency in Iraq intensified following the American invasion, U.S. Navy SEALs were called upon to root terrorists from their lairs. Unsure of the local neighborhoods and unable to speak the local languages, they came to rely on one man to guide them and watch their backs. He was a 'terp', an interpreter with a job so dangerous they couldn't even use his real name. They named him Johnny Walker. They soon called him brother. Over the course of eight years, the Iraqi native traveled around the country with nearly every SEAL and special operations unit deployed there. Using his wits to out-think the insurgency, Johnny Walker unmasked countless terrorists and helped foil an untold number of plots against fellow Iraqis as well as Americans. He went on thousands of missions, saved dozens of SEAL and other American lives and risked his own daily. He and his family lived in fear, surviving several assassination attempts and a host of threats in Mosul, until a desperate escape through the desert took them to the relative safety of Baghdad late in the war. Helped to the U.S. by the SEALs he protected, Johnny Walker's life is so remarkable that his tale reads like a piece of fiction. But every word of it is true. His job was so dangerous that his real name still cannot be used, for fear of reprisals. For the first time ever, a 'terp' tells what it was like in Iraq during the American occupation. With inside details on SEAL operations and a humane understanding of how most civilians caught between the terrorists and the new government really felt, Code Name: Johnny Walker reveals a side of the war never told before.
