There are people who are civilians, soldiers, and the POTUS. He describes the war graphically, and does a whale of a job doing it. It is almost as if you are reading the account of a war from someone who was there. There are other themes that are rather adult, but not detailed. As an example, an English girl whose pub is destroyed is swept off her feet and their sexual encounters are basically described in the most discreet of ways. There is obviously a lot of strong language, with F bombs (pardon the pun) dropped everywhere. Considering all this, it is your decision if you would want your 13 year old son reading it.(less)
