PPB Morning Edition Book Club - Redeployment by Phil Klay
Phil Klay'sRedeploymenttakes readers to the frontlines in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to understand what happened there, and what happened to the soldiers who returned. Interwoven with themes of brutality and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival, the characters in these stories struggle to make meaning out of chaos.
This book is poised to become a classic in the tradition of war writing. Across continents, Klay sets in devastating relief the two worlds in a soldiers life: one of extremes and one of loss. Written with a gut-wrenching realism and amazing emotional depth, with this book, Phil Klay is being recognized as one of the most talented new voices of his generation.
