Leesburg, VA, October 22, 2024 –(PR.com)– J. Thomas Hennessey, Jr. PhD, who served in the United States Army for over twenty-eight years, has completed his new book “Ghost Soldiers of Gandamak”: a thrilling work of historical fiction that follows two young officers from different centuries who find themselves mysteriously united by fate on a cold January day near the small Afghan village of Gandamak.

Throughout his military career, Dr. Hennessey successively held responsible leadership positions and retired as a Colonel with multiple awards for distinguished service. After Army retirement, he was appointed University Chief of Staff at George Mason and served in that capacity until his retirement in 2013. He was awarded the title of University Chief of Staff Emeritus, the only one in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

“Two young officers, one from the eighteenth century and one from the twenty-first century, meet on a cold January day near a small village,” writes Dr. Hennessey. “The eighteenth-century soldier, having survived the brutal British retreat from Kabul, finds himself among the fifty survivors planning to make a last stand on a small hilltop near the village of Gandamak. The twenty-first-century soldier and his soldiers have survived the crash of their transport helicopter and suddenly find themselves in the midst of an eighteenth-century conflict.

“How these two young leaders and their soldiers from two different centuries struggle to survive the brutal Afghan winter and combat the relentless attacks by Afghan tribesmen illustrates the warrior spirit all soldiers possess, regardless of the time and years between them.”
