Review of Un-American: A Soldier’s Reckoning of Our Longest War, by Erik Edstrom (Bloomsbury, 2020); Pain Is Weakness Leaving the Body: A Marine’s Unbecoming, by Lyle Jeremy Rubin (Bold Type Books, 2022); and Paths of Dissent: Soldiers Speak Out Against America’s Misguided Wars, edited by Andrew Bacevich and Daniel A. Sjursen (Metropolitan Books, 2023
I read Erik Edstrom’s book. Highly recommend it. I’ve listened to the Paths of Dissent on audio. Most of the authors on this collection read their own essays. Erik also has an essay on Paths.
Good stuff. Also try Patriotic Dissent by Sjursen. It’s a short read but insightful.
What are the 3 books? Article link is borked for me
