Chester Nez seemed to write with respect about his experiences. I don't remember him being graphic. He did cite some problems with his marriage toward the end of the book, but didn't go into specifics.

There is no sexual content. It does describe violence of war, though I wouldn't say that it's extremely graphic.

Has he read Red Badge of Courage? If so, then yes.
Lil
Absolutely This is a little known piece of American history.
Wendy
In a very short passage, Nez describes a scene where an American's feet are frozen in icey water and a nail pounded into his head. If you can "edit" that out, then yes. I was surprised that the book included this as the rest of it is very appropriate for a wide age group/
A.J.
Yes, if he understands what war is.
