booksaremyjam 's review for:
One thing I want to make clear: I think this book is imporatant for Americans to pick up. You don't have to read the whole thing, but Wright is writing the facts as they were in 2003. He does not add literary flare, his does not shove his own political opnions down your throat, and he stays true to simple war facts.
There are some difficulties with the novel: Wright wants to be so accurate he introduces us to a new character every 5 pages, which makes it rather confusing as to who is who. He also doesn't want to leave out any one instance, and doesn't want to condense for authenticities sake, thus you are stuck reading very similar situations over, and over, and over.
Despite this I did enjoy the novel. It was a slow read, but every time I picked it up I enjoyed Wright's voice, and his ability to distance himself from the content. He isn't afraid to be honest, a rarity in Journalism and his epilogue is like a kick in the gut.
