Whitney Terrell

Whitney Terrell’s remarkable novel of the Iraq War, The Good Lieutenant, literally starts with a bang, as an operation led by Lieutenant Emma Fowler goes spectacularly wrong. Men are dead – one, a young Iraqi, by her hand. Other casualties were soldiers in her platoon. And the signals officer, Dixon Pulowski. Pulowski is another story entirely – Fowler and Pulowski have been lovers since they first met at Fort Riley in Kansas . . .
