Missed by Eight Inches - Chapter 10 - "Dead but Alive" by Lionel D'Souza - Audio Book

Missed by Eight Inches by Lionel D'Souza is a saga of two friends from a remote Indian town whose journey leads them to manage US Army facilities in a war zone. The core of the narrative is the tragic demise of one friend and the wrongful accusation of the other for leading him to his death. More than a story of loss and injustice, the book is a testament to the unyielding strength of their friendship, detailing their solidarity, shared laughter, and mutual support amid danger. It is a tribute to the unsung civilian contractors who work defenseless in war zones, sacrificing their lives, and whose stories of courage and sacrifice are often untold. Readers will journey with the two friends, witnessing the strength of their bond and the weight of their sacrifices. A brief recap. The narrative follows the narrator and his six Indian colleagues working in Saudi Arabia, where a cricket match and a chaotic "Entry" into the country set the scene. The core of the story is the complex, repeatedly betrayed friendship with Andrew, foreshadowed by two instances of a "Pact Broken" during their school days and early career. Despite this, the narrator experiences cross-cultural connection in the "Brothers in Arms" chapter before pivoting his career with a "New Direction to Life" to work for the Australian Defence Force in Kuwait. He settles into a "Routine," is given a "New Assignment" in Afghanistan for the US Army, and finally, during a troop "Surge and Entry," Andrew joins him there, displaying discomfort with the harsh realities of the war zone.
