This is book about Farley Mowat‘s own experiences in the military during WWII. He describes what the battles that he had been in were like, life during training, and what it took to join the military in the first place. He also explores soldiers feelings towards war before and after seeing action and how much it changes. If you like descriptive history books about war and the people that were apart of it, this is a good book for you.
This book is detailed personal memoir written by Farley Mowat that goes in depth on his journey getting into the military, what life was like being a soldier and eventually the experiences he had in action, A main theme in this book is how how often war is glorified as a patriotic, and heroic charge into battle for your country,(which the soldiers themselves believe at first) until you really understand what soldiers have gone through.
This has not been a good week for my devices. I somehow damaged the USB charging cable for my Kindle and cracked my iPad case earlier in the week. This afternoon, I went to grab my Kindle Fire (2015) and its ridiculously expensive leather case came apart in my hands, leaving a sticky residue on my fingers. A (cheap) replacement should be here Tuesday. **sigh** I will not buy a new one just for a fancy case. I will not buy a new one.
