Author Dan Castro has donated hundreds of copies of his new book "Critical Choices That Change Lives: How Heroes Turn Tragedy to Triumph" to our troops in Iraq.

The book is about the common principles that heroes have followed for thousands of years to turn tragedy into triumph. It's filled with dramatic and inspiring stories about heroes from the ancient past to the present.

The principles set forth help to confirm that our troops are making a difference in this world and explain how and why. The book will provide much needed encouragement and inspiration to our troops as well as to their families and supporters back home.

You can download the first two chapters at http://www.dancastro.com/
