Title: Rushed to Print
Product review: I can't say that this book was a good read. While I think John Crawford has an important story to tell--especially about the National Guard at war--his writing feels a little rushed. Perhaps a little more time to polish would have made a difference. I didn't find myself emotionally investing in Crawford or any of his fellow soldiers.Comparing this book to Michael Herr's Dispatches is really pushing it. Dispatches gave us a language to describe time, while this book doesn't reveal much more than the surface.I would suggest Colby Buzzell's "My War" as alternative. Not only is it entertaining, but it also puts a definitive on the war.
