As in, Buy and read the Sumbitch!
With a recommendation like that, I'll download it tonight.
I finished it last week. It was enjoyable although I have a very hard time reading parts of any work dealing with torture and gang rape. Unlike the wartime situation where groups of people go away and do tragic stuff, it's hard for me to get my head around the idea that people can flip in and out of that mindset and be violent and ruthless on an out-of-town business trip and transition to being a family and civic minded guy the rest of the time. (Can you imagine that husband-wife pillow talk?????)
While on the topic of the end of an era, I immediately segued into Mark Steyn's "After America: Get Ready For Armageddon." I haven't finished it, but it is equally sobering.
