In The Terp, set in 2006, during the height of the Iraqi insurgency, Major Moss, a Civil Affairs officer, grapples with the lack of loyalty from his male interpreters in the volatile Tarmia sector. Frustrated, he boldly introduces female interpreters, believing they may bring a fresh perspective and a more commitment to the cause. However, his trusted chief of security, Staff Sergeant Robert Baker, is skeptical of this strategy, considering the profoundly ingrained chauvinism and sexism in the region. But with the arrival of Xena, a new interpreter, she will defy all stereotypes of what an Iraqi woman is supposed to be. Her courage and determination will shatter preconceived notions and challenge the Soldiers, the Iraqis, and the readers. The Terp by Retired Major Dan R. Walker is a thought-provoking novel that redefines our understanding of the Iraq war, the Soldiers who fought it, and the resilience and strength of the Iraqi women who played a pivotal role in shaping this tumultuous historical period. The story delves into the complexities of war, culture, and the human spirit.
