Redeployment is a quick but powerful and, for me, painful set of stories about the experience of ordinary soldiers in Iraq
Barack Obama
Searing . . . Gives the civilian reader a visceral feeling for what it is like to be a soldier in a combat zone, and what it is like to return home, still reeling from the dislocations of war. Gritty, unsparing and fiercely observed, these stories leave us with a harrowing sense of the war in Iraq as it was experienced, day by day, by individual soldiers
