by Charles Sheehan-Miles (Author), Cincinnatus Press, 2001

Nineteen year-old Chet Brown arrived home from the Gulf War in the spring of 1991 and found that, for him, the war was only beginning. Betrayed by his friends and lover, ignored by his family, Brown travels across the country in search of meaning behind the horrors of his war.

Charles Sheehan-Miles served in combat with the 24th Infantry Division during the 1991 Gulf War, and was decorated for valor for helping rescue fellow tank crewmen from a burning tank during the Battle at Rumayla. He is a former President and co-founder of the National Gulf War Resource Center and later was executive director of Veterans for Common Sense.

Prayer At Rumayla: A Novel Of The Gulf War is as timely as tomorrow's newspaper headlines. Written by Gulf War veteran and novelist Charles Sheehan-Miles, this is the story of a returning Gulf War veteran in the early 1990s who comes home to apathy, estrangement, and loss on behalf of his family, lover and friends. Brutally honest, direct, and meaningful, Prayer At Rumayla is a compelling novel of coming to terms not only with dangers and traumas of the battlefront, but with its aftermath upon the lives of the surviving combatants. - Midwest Book Review, April 2002
