Well, it‘s enjoyable: funny, scathing, occasionally brutal and moving. Undermines any romanticism of the horror of war and exposes the essential barbarity of being a soldier, even when you‘re on the right side. But I honestly don‘t see the really big deal. I would certainly recommend it, but I don‘t see why it‘s *so* highly thought of.
