It amazes me when authors can write so much in so few pages.  This story is told in two parts and tells the story of one incident from two unreliable narratives years apart.  It grabs at the concept that no story in conflict can be told 100% accurately.  In a war zone, records are deleted or skewed.  No matter how many times history repeats itself, we seem to never learn.
