The most remarkable and affecting book of poetry I encountered this year. James Wood, The New Yorker
Providing Care for the Casualities of War
Considers how soldiers through the ages have met their deaths in times of war, covering such subjects as weapons and battlefield strategies while offering insight into cultural differences and the nature of military combat.
It is often said that the Vietnam War taught us that the American public is no longer willing to tolerate American casualties in U.S. wars and military operations.
