5.0

Great read; a very interesting perspective and point of view for this retired Army read to consider. Best quote, however, came from the forward by Roy Kovich when Dalton Trumbo autographed his wheelchair: "Nothing more can be said—it can only be done"

I preferred the ending of the book to the movie version. I much prefer the human thought, even of the political impact of war, to the oversimplification7 of staged scenes.
