A son's search for meaning in the shadow of war and a father's final words

In Tell the Kids I Love Them, Jeremy Redmon uncovers the mysteries of his father's life and death. His dad, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, took his own life when Redmon was a teenager—an act that propelled the author on a lifelong quest to understand war, loss, and fatherhood.

From blast-scorched Mosul to the ancient ruins of Babylon, Redmon chronicles his experiences as a war correspondent embedded with US troops in Iraq, surviving close calls while witnessing utter devastation as well as remarkable humanity.

Threaded with dark humor, told with cinematic detail, and conveyed with raw honesty, this memoir is as much about resilience as it is about tragedy. When Redmon becomes a father, he finally learns how to carry on with both his father's complicated legacy and the final message he left behind: "Tell the kids I love them."
