A bit tough to handle. I do consider myself a liberal, though not necessarily loyal to any political party. I am not a Michael Moore fanatic, though I do think he is one of the few people out there who has the guts to state his convictions, right or wrong. He has helped to open up communication about a great number of topics, from corporate greed, to gun control, to the "War on Terror" and 9/11 to health care. I think that makes him a worthwhile and honorable voice in America, whatever his faults. Everybody remember that he is first and foremost, a filmmaker, and therefore it is his job to present things as he sees them. Once you understand that, then you can criticize his politics as much as you like.
This book is mostly letters from soldiers who were overseas, written several years back, yet still poignant. I think it presented the other side of the war through soldiers' eyes which we hadn't seen up to this point.
Worth a look. Not too long either.
