What some people endure.
War is a horrible, horrible thing. This generation faced it; it wasn't just a CNN war coverage marathon. If Americans experienced war the way they experienced WWII, I think we'd get into a lot fewer of them. And even WW II wasn't how most countries experience war - people were afraid of invasion on the west coast, and German subs just off the east coast, but there were never any invasions, bombings or the like on the states.
I doubt we'd get into wars every twenty years if our country looked like Japan or France or Germany.
Anyway, the book's an incredible record of a man's endurance of brutal, hellish war, and his amazing resilience afterward. Maybe at least if everybody read this book we'd have fewer wars.
