A review by srbolton
Redeployment by Phil Klay

4.0

Reflecting on my reread of Phil Klay’s redeployment this month, I would love to see “money as a weapons system” written for a feature-length, MASH-style satire. Psyops and “sucking chest wound” are the most earnest & plausible post-war conversations. I remain unswayed by the criticism of his overdone caricatures of soldiers attitudes and speech in many of the stories; that’s kind of a tradition in war/antiwar fiction. A good read for those interested in the genre, but fair warning remains, this is not for the easily offended or faint of heart.
