My life as a foreign country

He comes from several generations of military men, and as a soldier honors but does not glorify various types of war service. In this autobiography, Turner, a veteran of our most recent wars, suffering the effects of PTSD, sees the enemy, and himself through the enemy's eyes, and even through the imagined vision of a greviously injured cook. This book and  Redeployment by Phil Klay, listed on the Best of 2014:  Fiction, speak of the pain and truth of war.
