Finally found a good book
What is Going to War Like by Karl Manlantes
I originally got this book as it was an Audible daily deal and so was only $5 and I figured it'd be good research for Sam Wilson. I am very pleased to say this is, so far, a great book. The author's focus is on the emotional and spiritual price going to war costs, which the author is in a place to gauge, being a Marine who served in Viet Nam. What I really like it that the book is an honest look at what it was like and is not a power ballad to military might or efficiency. Granted I am only two chapters into the book, but I am already learning a lot.
