LOGCAP

A Literary Memoir of Complicity and Witness

CLASSIFIED

About the Novel

A female civilian contractor navigates the bureaucratic machinery of war in Iraq, where logistics contracts mask moral compromises and reality fractures under the weight of American empire.

Through classified operations and corporate euphemisms, the narrator confronts her own complicity in a system designed to obscure violence and erase accountability. This is not a story of heroism or redemption, but of witness and reckoning.

For readers of Tim O'Brien, Phil Klay, and Kevin Powers — but from a perspective rarely seen: a woman embedded in the logistics of war.
