A Good War Is Hard to Find: The Art of Violence in America by David Griffith

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

An engaging and personal read. I'm not entirely sure by the end of what Griffith was attempting to accomplish here, but for a debut book (I believe) it was much more well-formed than other nonfiction debuts I've seen.

The meditations here on violence have a strong post-9/11 tone (for obvious reasons) and a lot of that helped recontextualize that time period for me since I was only a pre-teen/teen during those years. What a wild period.
