Stay away! 88 1

I do not understand the popularity of this boring book possible, without rhythm and without interest. The back cover is a true scam:
1) "takes us to the heart of the battles": apart from an unfortunate tale of a skirmish in an orchard, nothing, we do not even know where this is going, the author he was only in Iraq?
2) "the daily regiment" total nothingness, it does not even know his unit or his rank, is a regiment consisting of a sergeant, a lieutenant and two grunts!
3) "the dangers that soldiers face" except drag his spleen in his childhood village and the risk of drowning in the river.
4) "the impossible return to civilian life": Ok, indeed it is mostly boredom into civilian life in question, and the link with its military past is well run; it might as well be the spleen of an unemployed or other depressive syndrome.

A "staggering hymn to living dead" ... Ouarf a real nuisance especially. Abandoned 2/3. If you want to read a testimony on the Iraq war (the second), go your way.
