Escape In Iraq: The Thomas Hamill Story chronicles the extraordinary experience of American civilian, Thomas Hamill, a truck convoy commander delivering fuel to the U.S. armed forces in Iraq. On April 9, 2004 his convoy was attacked near the Baghdad International Airport. Five of Hamill's associates were killed and he was wounded and taken prisoner by masked gunmen who held him hostage in Iraq for 24 days before he made a miraculous escape. His inspirational story is one of danger, courage, faith, and family. Escape in Iraq is a must read for everyone.
About the Authors:Thomas Hamill grew up on a dairy farm in Noxubee County, Mississippi. He began his work career as a carpenter and became a truck driver at an early age. In common with many American family farmers, he worked multiple jobs to augment farm income. He made long distance runs as a truck driver while continuing to manage his dairy farm. In 2003 he went abroad to support his country's fight for Iraqi freedom, and to earn enough money to save his farm. Hamill has been married to his wife Kellie for 17 years and has two children, a son and a daughter, --Thomas age 14, and Tori, who is 12. A quiet man of deep and abiding faith, Thomas Hamill's life revolves around his reverence for God and his family.
