The tale is told with simple language, without editorial comment, and thus heightens the overall emotional impact. It's not so much anti-war as it is anti-drug--in this case, war is the drug that inflames passion and short-sightedness. There can be good reasons to go to war, but often the reasons are more emotional, encouraged by the drug rather than reason. A fasinating read. A literary exploration into Historical Fiction about a raid into Mexico for revenge on bandits that raided Texas. The main character relates the story of their adventures, capture, escapes, and imprisonment. A wonderful read. Every time I pick up Rick Bass, I am left happy that I have read his work. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
