Title: A Brief Comment on our Longest War
Product review: Mr. Crawford has created a picture of war that reveals the humanity of the participants and the inhumanity of war itself. It has been said that evil is ordinary, common place, boring. Uneventful. So it is slogging through garbage littered streets, sewage filled ditches, cityscapes filled with empty eyes and abandoned buildings. The humanity comes from the sensitivity of the writer to the pain and suffering he sees daily. He struggles with his relationship with his wife, ten thousand miles and a world away. He remains a friend and trusted team member to his Army buddies. He writes in a way that is everyday yet poetic, and shows moments of relief and humor amid days on end of ennui interspersed with sudden explosions of gunfire and IEDs. The stories are short, clean and eminently readable. A worthwhile read for anyone living in the present day.
