5.0
This memoir gives two interesting perspectives into a civil war I knew nothing about. It was written in such a direct, powerful, and emotional way that I had a hard time putting it down at times. But then, it handled such intense topics I had to also take breaks at times... but my thoughts would linger on it. I have a hard time rating non-fiction. I couldn't rightly say I "enjoyed" this book. But I found it powerful, informative and very well-written.
