Remember those who risk their lives for our freedom.
Gene R. Dark’s personal account of battle, The Brutality of War: A Memoir of Vietnam, is a riveting look at the toll combat can take on a man and how he pushes on to survive. If the Civil War piques your interest, then pick up a copy of Tom C. McKenney’s Jack Hinson’s One-Man War, which reveals another look at how battle can affect a man. Hinson’s transformation from a disinterested plantation owner to a vengeful Confederate sniper reads like suspenseful fiction but is supported by McKenney’s years of detailed research on this little-known historical figure.
