Feet First Into Hell: A Soldier’s Descent into War and Trauma
 
War changes a man. Some don’t come back. Others return, but never truly leave the battlefield.
From the frozen landscapes of Alaska to the brutal, sun-scorched streets of Iraq, Daniel Nova Brower takes you deep into the unforgiving reality of modern combat. He didn’t enlist out of duty or patriotism—he was looking for something, an escape, a purpose. Instead, he found hell.
In this raw, unfiltered memoir, Brower recounts the horrors of war with chilling honesty—gunfire ripping through the air, the sickening weight of loss, the unbearable silence after battle. He doesn’t hold back. He takes you inside the firefights, inside the trauma, inside the mind of a man who has seen too much.
But Feet First Into Hell isn’t just about war. It’s about survival—both on the battlefield and long after the last bullet is fired. It’s about the ghosts that follow soldiers home, the nightmares that never fade, and the brutal truth that war doesn’t end when the deployment does.
For readers of House to House, The Things They Carried, and American Sniper, this memoir offers an unflinching, no-BS look at the cost of war—not just on the body, but on the soul.
