Green on Blue

Green on Blue: A Novel is a 2015 work of fiction written by Elliot Ackerman. Set in modern-day Afghanistan, it is told through the point of view of Aziz, a young boy who must join the Special Lashkar – a U.S. funded militia – in order to save his injured brother. Dr. Truman Anderson has called Green on Blue a “morally complex debut novel" for how Ackerman explores the themes of loyalty to family and nation, revenge, and the brutality of war throughout the novel.
