War is...

War is
Marc Aronson and Patty Campbell
Candlewick

"War is..." it is a collection of short stories, testimonials and personal experiences. They will tug at your heart strings and make you question your own convictions about war. There are things that you have never heard before and some things that you might wish you didn't hear about. This book should be required for young adults to read, especially ones that are thinking about joining the armed services.

Personal Review
This book was especially hard to read for me. I have 3 friends that are in the National Guard and they are scheduled to be deployed in early September. I am going to have them read it. This is a powerful book for everyone, not just those that are looking into the armed services.There are so many things that do not occur to people when thinking about going into the National Guard or the Army or Marines.
