Featured On Fresh Air August 3, 2005 ยท With two credits to go before college graduation, John Crawford was called to active duty and sent to the front lines in Iraq. Crawford had joined the Florida National Guard in order to pay his tuition -- and didn't expect to go to war.
His new memoir is The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell. It was written partly while on active duty and partly back in the United States after he returned.
