Redeployment

Redeployment / Phil Klay 291 pgs.

A collection of short stories loosely tied together by the second Iraq War.  This book takes you to a place most of us have not been.  How does it feel when you make your first kill?  How does it feel when you kill a child?  How does it feel when you go home after being at war and being under stress for months and months?  These stories give you a little bit on insight based on a variety of characters in different roles during the war.  There are times when I was reading this that it was painful.  There were times when you just feel so strongly for the character in the story and there are times when you dislike the characters and the situations they find themselves in.  In the end, I'm not exactly sure what insights I gained but I feel like reading this book was worthwhile.
