10 months agoI teach this. I’m a combat vet in Iraq, and read this after my deployment. I love the book. It literally changed my life. Can’t say enough about it, and I could teach How to Tell a True War Story, Good Form, and The Man I killed forever.
Moment of Courage gets tears out of me every time I read it.
The Lives of the Dead does it too.
For a book that is very much the spiritual successor to TTTC - read Redeployment by Phil Klay.
never understood the hype. Not sure there’s a single player in the last 15 years I’ve been more sure would bust aside from maybe Christian Ponder.
