Redeployment

Resumen del libro

These gritty and unsparing stories take readers to the front lines of the war in Iraq and back, asking us to understand what happened there and what happened to the soldiers who returned. Whether in the combat zone or on the home front, they face life at the extremes, where happy stories and easy answers provide no guidance or comfort. Brutality and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival the characters in this collection struggle to make meaning from the stuff of chaos. Written with hard-eyed realism and stunning emotional depth, Redeployment marks Phil Klay as one of the most talented new voices of his generation. It is poised to become a classic of the war-writing tradition.
