Summary: FASCINATING!!!!!
Review: With the events of the past few weeks fresh in our minds and the American military mobilizing as we speak, I wish more people would read this book. Although the book does deal with some larger themes, the most poignant part for me was the description of day to day life in a world at war. It's too easy to romanticize the hunger, struggle and fear from a distance. We need records such as these so that we don't forget about the indignity and squalor that war rains down on humanity.
