Heart of War by Damon DiMarco
This is a beautifully written book dedicated to US veterans of war. Journalist DiMarco has assembled 18 Iraq war emotional testimonies of soldiers who are all highly intelligent, courageous and inspiring. It gives an honest, vivid, moving and harrowingly real insight to the war in Iraq. I enjoyed the book, especially the respect DiMarco paid to his interviewees and the diversity of perspectives he brings to discussion. He gives his interviewees a voice which the mainstream media have failed to notice.This is a book which intends to attract the audience who are interested in the human and emotional context of soliders’ experience and memories and the enormous effects that the events of 9/11 had on these people’s lives.
