War Is... Soldiers, Survivors, and Storytellers Talk About War
Edited By: Marc Aronson and Patty Campbell
Candlewick; Reprint Edition, 2009
This book is a collection of short stories, essays, and well nearly everything there can be about war. This book talks about every part of war, the good, the bad, the ugly, and worse. A section of this book is dedicated to recruitment allowing kids to see the tactics the military uses to get them to join. Another section is dedicated to the Vietnam war. One section is from the viewpoints of women soldiers. There is even a brief script about war and a recently published short story on the subject of war.
Personal Review: I had mixed feeling about this book. It made me feel angry and sad at the same time. I think this book is really good for kids to read because it will provide the information necessary prior to making a decision to join the military, army, navy, or marines. Warning: This book has frequent strong language and very graphic elements. It is not for the faint of heart.
