Meet The Author – Edward Ford, Postcards Through Hell

Postcards Through Hell is a riveting journey through war-torn Afghanistan that shares the brave and
daring ride of private military contractors as they fight their way through unforgiving territory day in and
day out to deliver the US mail. It is a story that is exciting and engaging then anything ever written on
private security contracting and brings a world to the doorstep of every reader who has never begun to
imagine the risks that so many of these men take in order to serve our military personnel serving in
combat zones.

The story goes beyond capturing the history surrounding this rare segment of Americans and third
country nationals who sign up and put their lives on the line – it shares an equally important look into
the cultural nuances that it takes to survive in the Middle East. This stark reminder is important for
readers to learn from the perspective of those willing to risk their lives to deliver the mail – something
that most of us take for granted when they see the US Postal delivery person going about their jobs on a
daily basis, in relative safety.
