The Good Soldiers by David Finkel

The Good Soldiers by David Finkel, 287 pages, Iraq War.
Finkel's Pulitzer-Prize winning account of his time in Iraq with Col. Ralph Kauzlarich and the 2-16 battalio,n during 2007 and 2008. It is a very moving account of the war, with horrible things happening to very brave people, to our soldiers, the people working with them, civilians, and the forces fighting against them. Soldiers are wounded, some are killed and all of them seem irrevocably changed by the cataclysm in which they fine themselves.
This was our October 2010 book discussion choice.
