Captain Benjamin Tupper received the Bronze Star and Combat Infantrymen Badge for his service in Afghanistan. He currently lives with his wife in Syracuse, New York.
"[An] important collection...His observations are frank,
insightful, and offer a detailed account of the current situation
in a theater where American soldiers are giving their lives right
now. Anyone who wants a better understanding of what is happening
in Afghanistan should read this book....Tupper's writing is superb.
Greetings from Afghanistan, Send More Ammo belongs on bookshelves
alongside such well-received works as Flags of Our Fathers and
Battle Cry of Freedom."
-New York Journal of Books
"Ragged frontline chaos ... fill[s] the pages of Capt. Tupper's new
memoir..."
-The New York Post
"A penetrating look at life deep inside Afghanistan and way outside
the wire. Tupper's timing is right, and readers will appreciate the
context he provides for the new stories we will be reading
soon."
-Garry Trudeau, creator of Doonesbury and the Sandbox
"Tupper's got as good a view as anybody of, as he puts it, the 'tip
of the counterinsurgency spear' on the ground in Afghanistan... An
interesting look at the culture clashes between U.S. soldiers,
Afghan soldiers, and Afghan civilians..."
-Newsweek.com
"...Very powerful, important and penetrating, and I really do urge
people to pick it up"
-Joe Donahue, WAMC Northeast Public Radio
"Tupper is a true grunt. He has that crazy, infectious sense of
humor based on the absurd, grasps the poignancy without
sentimentalism, and tells the reader straight up how it is to be a
grunt adviser in the zany land of Afghanistan."
-Bing West, author of The Village
