ARTICLES OF WAR, by Nick Arvin

(originally posted on May 23, 2006)

What a short, amazing, furious book, that in less than 200 pages conveys hope, fear, longing and tortured decisionmaking as seen through the eyes of one 18 year old Army soldier during WWII. One wouldn't have thought there was a lot new to say about this particular war but Arvin found it in what already has "classic" stamped upon it.
