Is The Mullah's Storm based on an actual event?

The novel isn't based on any one particular event in the Afghanistan war. However, its scenes and settings mirror real-world conditions in Afghanistan. You might say The Mullah's Storm is an imagining of my worst fears.

As an Air National Guard flight engineer flying missions into Iraq and Afghanistan, what worried me most wasn't the thought of getting shot down and killed. It was the thought of getting shot down and not killed. My main character, Major Parson, lives that nightmare.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
