Reviews
Whatever image readers may have of veterans of the U.S. military's seemingly never-ending engagement in Afghanistan, the ranks certainly included talented writers with sophisticated worldviews and ample amounts of self-awareness. That is reflected in nearly every one of the 24 stories collected in The Road Ahead., Most stories in The Road Ahead are told in a realistic mode, but suitable attention is paid to the surreal and disorienting elements of war and homecoming., The Road Ahead more than lived up to its promise--a shockingly brilliant salvo in the next wave of literature about our perpetual wars, a diverse and strange new literature which is utterly essential if we want to understand who we are as a nation, and what this era of constant war is doing to us, to our military, and to the countries where we send our men and women to kill and die., The writers gathered in these pages are among the finest, and the material they are working with is, by its nature, powerful and compelling. The result is stories that are by turns brutal and hilarious, dark and redemptive. Every one of them speaks to a truth we should not, cannot, turn away from., Savor each of the 24 distinctive tales by 24 veterans in a collection that makes you want to read more by the contributors., Captures the truth about war better than nonfiction. It's possible--likely even--that these pages from a handful of writers will come to define the warrior perspective for this generation. For that reason, this book is relevant. Its stories are tragic, moving, violent, and devastating, but not always in the ways one expects. It's enough to enlighten those most insulated from the war., An anthology of stories covering a literary terrain as expansive as the seemingly endless ''''war on terror'''' that spawned it. These stories provide plenty of revelation on the nature of the war and the soldiers who continue to fight it., These twenty-four intimate, brutal, unusual and honest portraits show us the startling effects of war, dispelling the myth that any military solution is simple. To this diverse group of writers, women and men, I say thank you for your wrenching stories. The cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is greater than we could have imagined., A stunning, poignant, astonishing, mournful, melancholy, brutally honest collection of stories about our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and makes this old soldier's heart sore. They are so well written. If you want to understand our young soldiers and the world they lived in, read these stories., An anthology of stories covering a literary terrain as expansive as the seemingly endless ''war on terror'' that spawned it. These stories provide plenty of revelation on the nature of the war and the soldiers who continue to fight it., An anthology of stories covering a literary terrain as expansive as the seemingly endless 'war on terror' that spawned it. These stories provide plenty of revelation on the nature of the war and the soldiers who continue to fight it., If war is eternal, its form alters with the times. These vivid stories are the up-to-date bulletins from the frontline of today. Injustices abound, meaning eludes us, until for moments, it doesn't. These writers deliver gut-wrecking reports of humanity at the edge of despair and offer us truths about the nature of war and the men and women struggling to survive it.
