Praise for Dust to Dust…
“This brave soldier with his singular sensibility . . . builds us a fort we’re loath to leave.”
-Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club, Cherry, and Lit
“Elegiac, funny, wistful, deep, and wonderfully human, Dust to Dust moved me to laughter and tears, sometimes simultaneously. . . . After reading this book, you will want to go outside and really look at our world.”
-Karl Marlantes, bestselling author of Matterhorn and What It Is Like to Go to War
“Dust to Dust is a wonderful book, original in concept and stunningly written, a soldier’s memoir that is about soldiering and much else besides. The last two dozen pages are a tour de force, a breathtaking meditation on loss and remembrance, dust to dust.”
-Ward Just
“Busch is a brilliant prose stylist for whom every pause counts, a man of three worlds—the heart, the mind, the earth. Dust to Dust is a stunning literary work about this mysterious trinity, and a return to home.”
-Doug Stanton, bestselling author of Horse Soldiers and In Harm's Way
