Michael Yon left for another long embed in Iraq yesterday. He should be there are reporting once again from the front lines in a few days. I wish him well and pray for his safety.

Michael has a couple of great posts up on his blog right now, one is the latest in a series titled Men of Valor, check it out. In the other post of note, he let’s his readers know that he has a book coming out titled Moment of Truth in Iraq,

Readers genuinely interested in a fuller more comprehensive picture of the so-called “surge” unfolding, and continuing to unfold, might be interested to know that I have arranged to publish a book based on my 2007 dispatches, with much of the missing details and behind-the-scenes information added and including material I will be writing about critical events in early 2008 that will give deeper credence to the title of the new book, Moment of Truth in Iraq.

My book Moment of Truth in Iraq, due out in April 2008, will be packed with battlefield coverage, including some never-before-published material. But it will also include more from behind the scenes, as I traveled and up and down the back country to systematically report on the astounding campaign of 2007 to snatch Iraq back from the abyss.

Michael does not receive funding or financial support from any network, movie, book or television deals. He is entirely reader-supported. He relies on his readers to help him replace his equipment and cover his expenses so that he may remain in Iraq and bring you the stories of our soldiers.
