A Breath Away From Eternity: The Long Road Home — Paperback
On September 11, 2001, the Pentagon moved beneath Kirk “Captain” Phillips’ feet.
A binder slid from his lap. The floor vibrated beneath him. Then came the smoke, confusion, and realization that the unthinkable had happened.
American Airlines Flight 77 had struck the Pentagon.
Phillips survived that morning and returned to duty. But survival did not mean the story was over.
Five years later, he volunteered for Afghanistan.
Serving alongside U.S. Army, NATO, Department of State, and coalition personnel, Phillips traveled across southern Afghanistan, from the Iranian border to the Pakistani frontier. There were convoys and remote outposts, danger and uncertainty, solemn ramp ceremonies for the fallen, unexpected laughter among those living with war, and encounters with Afghan families and children that stayed with him long after he returned home.
A Breath Away From Eternity: The Long Road Home is more than a military memoir. It is a deeply personal witness to history, survival, service, friendship, loss, and the quieter journey of coming home.
Raw, intimate, sometimes humorous, and deeply human, it leaves the reader with a simple reminder:
None of us knows which breath will be our last. Make the ones you have matter.
