Read in August, 2010

What a powerful book. Almost every description and detail is emotionally moving in some way, and there are some that are so, so tragic. I had to take breaks to process what I was reading. David Finkel's writing is excellent and well crafted. With humility and respect for his subjects, Finkel lets the unbelievable details, language of the soldiers, and the perspective and thoughts of Ralph Kauzlarich speak for themselves. There is so much human suffering and human dignity in this book.

Lolly I can't wait to see what the students say about it. Many of my students chose it and it sounds powerful. I'll put it on my list, though your review makes me think that it might take some time to really do it justice.
