Former Marine and current Middle East scholar Ackerman explores territory familiar to him but uncharted to most of us. Ackerman humanizes a war fraught with tragedy and seemingly without resolution. This is a tightly packed, nuanced narrative in which virtually every character introduced plays a pivotal role.
The story is told with economy and a sense of urgency even when the characters seem to be stuck in a holding pattern. His story blends tension and substance and is anything but ordinary.

He crafts a brutal love story and also beautifully depicts a violent part of the world largely misunderstood by those on the outside of the battle lines. Instead of trying to make a grand statement about what war means, Dark at the Crossing illustrates how war can mean different things to different people.
