Overview
Ā
"Funny, biting, thoughtful and wholly original."Ā āTim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried
Jeff Danziger, one of the leading political cartoonists of his generation, captures the fear, sorrow, absurdity, and unintended but inevitable consequences of war with dark humor and penetrating moral clarity.
If there is any discipline at the start of wars it dissipates as the soldiers themselves become aware of the pointlessness of what they are being told to do.
Ā
A conversation with a group of todayās military age men and women about Americaās involvement in Vietnam inspired Jeff Danziger to write about his own wartime experiences: āWar is interesting,ā he reveals, āif you can avoid getting killed, and donāt mind loud noises.ā
Ā
Fans of his cartooning will recognize his mordant humor applied to his own wartime training and combat experiences: āI learned, and I think most veterans learn, that making people or nations do something by bombing or sending in armed troops usually fails.ā
Ā
Near the end of his telling, Danziger invites his audienceāin particular the young friends who inspired him to write this informative and rollicking memoirāto ponder: āWhat would you do? . . . Could you summon the braveryāor the internal resistanceāto simply refuse to be part of the whole idiotic theater of the war? . . . Or would you be like me?ā
