Gerne: Non-fiction War

Setting: This novel is set throughout many different wars. It place during the war, before the war, and after the war showing many different aspects of the soldiers fight.

War Is… is a well done book. It tells the stories that many of us are too afraid to ask. I know I am. My best friend served for 18 months in Iraq, she’ll never be the same. I have seen my strong and unstoppable friend hit the ground after a ladle is dropped in the kitchen, I have witnessed her restless sleeping, and I have seen her lose many friends after switching branches of the military in order avoiding going back to war. This book opened a new light on life. I think for a young adult reader it could give new insight to a life that they take for advantage. The scary thing is the people that this book is targeted for are the people that will be someday making that choice one whether or not to enlist. I hope that it can shed some light on the situation for them.
