United States Army Chaplains are oftentimes one of the greatest unsung heroes in military combat operations overseas. "The Shepherd of Jalalabad" gives the reader a behind the scenes look at the bravery, religious passion, dedication and heroism of one Army Chaplain's combat experiences during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. This unique perspective is the story of Chaplain Hughes' preparation, deployment and return from war. It also describes in detail his own personal struggles that followed; dealing with post-traumatic stress and the post-combat reintegration with his family.
