A review by brandongryder
Sympathy For The Devil by Kent Anderson

5.0

It has been some time since a book’s ending shook me the way this one did. I had already mentally given this book five stars, but after the ending I would give it six. It is a fascinating look at the life of a Green Beret in Vietnam. Truly engrossing narratives of training, violence and the most simple, beautiful explanation of the seductiveness of war I have ever read. Anderson does an incredible job of sucking you in and then, in a matter of a few pages, pulls back the curtain and blows you away.
