As a Security Coordinator with KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary, Snow worked in numerous high risk positions throughout Iraq,
including Mosul, Baghdad, Tikrit, Balad, and culminating at Camp Anaconda. Upon
his return to the United States, Elmer Snow wrote A
View from Iraq.
According
to the book description, A View from Iraq
“is a must read for soldiers who have served, curious citizens, families of those who served or are in Iraq, as well
as security practitioners who are constantly searching for tactics that are used by terrorists and insurgents. The book details
various individual acts of courage and bravery that were demonstrated by members of our armed forces, methods of identifying
problems that occur, and ways of reducing the level of threat to an acceptable level.” Elmer Snow is also the author
of two fiction books Overkill- A Detective’s
Story and Revenge Served Cold.
According to the book description of
Overkill, “Detective Nicholas T. Robertson had always wanted to be a homicide detective, and
the Prince George’s County Police provided that opportunity. Through the mentoring of his friend, Leland Fitzgerald,
a fellow detective, Robertson’s knowledge and experience soars while Fitzgerald convinces us all that humor can be found
in the most gruesome of investigations.”
According to the book description of
Revenge Served Cold, “Victor Dolan has enjoyed an exciting career as a detective in the Prince George’s
County Police Department and through experience has developed a skill of using departmental time to pursue his own interests.
One interest is Nikita Androse, a singer whose voice is legendary and is secondary only to her body. “Vic” is
determined not to let anything come between him and Nikita, even a stalker’s bullet that brings Dolan to the brink of
death. He will recover to become the diva’s personal bodyguard, and while staying one step ahead of the stalker, will
travel life’s highway to New Orleans where an old friend, a homicide detective who practices voodoo and has the morals
of a cobra, will show Victor that “Revenge is a dish that’s served best when cold.”
