4TROOPS: The Mission is Music

The first and only book by 4TROOPS, a new musical group of four young U.S. combat veterans, with a debut CD album from Sony Music and a 60-city Fall concert tour. Includes bonus CD with 2 exclusive songs.

4TROOPS are United States combat veterans—three young men and one woman who served on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan. While overseas, music played a crucial and very personal role in all their lives. Individually or in pairs, they would often sing at everything from large military events to more intimate gatherings.

Now, together as a group, their purpose is to sing on behalf of all troops, to honor their sacrifices and to create awareness for their needs. Their self-titled debut album, consisting of the lead single "For Freedom," well-known positive pop and country songs, as well as new songs, was released on the Sony Masterworks label on May 11.

This 144-page, 4-color, illustrated book for fans features over 120 photographs, bios and personal stories of the four soldiers, as well as background on how they came together, the recording of their album, and the role of music in the military (from the U.S. Army Soldier Show to "Military Idol").
