Unregulated Podcast: Sgt. Konrad Ludwig on "STRYKER: The Siege of Sadr City"

The MacIver Institute's Michael Lucas is joined by Retired Army Sergeant Konrad R.K. Ludwig–combat veteran of Iraq War II, and author of the book "Stryker: The Siege of Sadr City."

The MacIver Institute's Michael Lucas is joined by Retired Army Sergeant Konrad R.K. Ludwig–combat veteran of Iraq War II, and author of the book "Stryker: The Siege of Sadr City."

Sergeant Ludwig is a Californian by birth and now lives in Hillsdale, Michigan with his wife and newborn child where he works for the College as a software engineer. Both he and Michael attended Hillsdale College at the same time–meeting through mutual friends–and spent many an hour musing about the greatness of Ludwig von Mises.

A patriot, a veteran, a finance analyst, a programmer, an armchair economist–Konrad has a wealth of knowledge and experience to rival that of many a great man. But above all, he is an incredibly good person, and a very good friend.

His book has received hundreds of reviews, averaging 4.5/5 stars on Amazon, where one can also read a free sample of his incredible, and eminently human, experience of the second Iraq War.
