MEANTIME: The Aesthetics of Soldiering

By Stephen Paul Register

A military memoir detailing accounts of border patrol in Yuma, Arizona, Hurricane Katrina relief efforts on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and war-fighting in Baghdad, Iraq as a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In his debut work Meantime: The Aesthetics of Soldiering, Stephen Paul Register weaves something of beauty from dust and desert to grapple with the question: "What does it mean to be a soldier?" He writes from the depths of his experience and transports the reader from dusty Baghdad to flooded Mississippi through scenes of a soldier's daily life. Meantime is sure to stand out from the crowd of military memoirs and will have all its readers wrestling with that same question: "What does it mean to be a soldier?"
