Mike Kincaid is a father, a husband, and a man haunted by a war he has tried to leave behind. On a quiet evening in Colorado, his nine-year-old daughter asks him a simple question: "What did you do in the war?" It's a question that threatens to shatter the peaceful life he has built, forcing him to confront the ghosts of his past as a Green Beret officer.
He tells her a story, a filtered truth about the chaotic opening days of World War III in Lithuania. A story of Special Forces operators, known as ODA 7214, sent behind enemy lines to be the tripwire against a Russian invasion. From a high-stakes ambush of an enemy general to a desperate rescue mission for a downed aircrew, Kincaid relives the unbreakable bond of brotherhood forged in the crucible of combat.
But as the missions escalate, culminating in a suicidal assault on a chemical weapons depot, the line between hero and survivor begins to blur. To explain the meaning of sacrifice to his daughter, Kincaid must navigate the brutal memories of the friends he couldn't save and the terrible choices a soldier must make when victory is paid for in blood. "Daddy, Tell Me About War" is a relentless, action-packed military thriller and a poignant, heartbreaking story about the price of duty and the scars a soldier carries home.
