Description

I wanted to read something that corroborated my antipathy towards the military, soldiors and bureaucrats. This was a very worthy panacea. The author subtly weaving examples of modern films and classical novels of violence, bigotry and cruelty to point out the flaws in each and every one of us. A sensitive and endearing novel. I read Davids book in one sitting, very easy to read. If you ever wondered about them torture photos by cruel and horrible humans guarding the Iraqi prisoners and Afghans....you must, we all must, confront and decipher what war has become, what our war machine has become. This book will help you to understand how one sensitive writer grapples with man's cruelty to man.
