"Brilliant and beautiful. It surely ranks with the best war memoirs I've ever encountered." -Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried
Spanning pre-deployment to combat zone, World War I to Vietnam, boredom to blood lust, roadside bombs to open mic nights, this book shows what it means to be a soldier and a human being.
Second collection by American soldier-poet who served in Bosnia and Iraq relating to war and its aftermath. Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
