#AboutaSoldier

I read this book recently and it still haunts me. Too often children are forced to be soldiers in wars started out of greed and quests of power, wars they have no business being a part of, and yet they have no other choice but to do whatever they must to survive.

Finding Moon | Tony Hillerman

This might be a lesser-known Tony Hillerman book, not being part of his excellent Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn series. It is about a soldier's daughter in Vietnam that the soldier's brother goes to find.

Birdsong has been described as “a mesmerising story of love and war spanning three generations between WW1 and present day” and “an exceptionally moving and unforgettable portrait of the ruthlessness of war and the indestructability of love”.

I thought it would be interesting to share books about women in the military for #AboutaSoldier since so many of these types of books focus on men. #MagnificentMarch

OriginalCyn620 Awesome! 🙌🏼❤️ 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks That‘s awesome! 5y
