I am about 25 pages into this book. I don't know if I will be able to finish it. Not because it is bad, but because it is so powerful and heart rendering. This book is about what war does to people and while reading it, it makes my blood boil when it comes to these never ending wars, the continuing impact it has on those who have fought them and those tied to these people and the utterly disgusting attention span of the American people. This country has men and women fighting and dying in a vacuum of zero attention while its citizens talk about Tweeting, bullshit, the Oscars and other nauseating pablum.
