My Rating: 4.9
Intense, powerful, and compelling, Matterhorn is an epic war novel. Written by a highly decorated Marine veteran over the course of thirty years, Matterhorn is a spellbinding and unforgettable novel that brings to life an entire world—both its horrors and its thrills—and seems destined to become a classic of combat literature.
We listened to this together in the car. I am constantly amazed at what our young men go through to defend our country but, this had me astounded at the stupidity of the politics of the generals, the racial divide and other internal strife within their unit. My heart broke for so many unnecessary tragedies. This was a very graphic novel and yet, at times, it also had us laughing. Amazing author that brought the war to life.
Sounds interesting. Going to see if the library has this on audio.
