More lists with this book..
There is certainly no fuck you here, this collection of stories about Marines is awesome. It's the kind of book that reminds me why I spend so much time reading, it makes all the sometimes dry spells of mediocre and mildly forgettable books all wor..more
Bottom line: It really is one important read..
To all our War Veterans: with tremendous appreciation and pride, a heartfelt Thank You for your bravery and steely character not just on the battlefield, but in resuming Life after it.
There are two ways to tell the story. Funny or sad. Guys like it funny, with lots of gore and a grin on your face when you get to the end. Girls like it sad, with a thousand-yard stare out to the distance as you gaze upon the horrors of war they can't quite see.

Wayyyyyyy too much profanity!
The 'in-house' jargon, (acronyms), were absurd. I'm not familiar with complex military
terminology. Much of this 'audible' came off feeling like ramblings.
It wasn't easy to difficult to follow.
This wasn't a book I was dying to read --(making things clear upfront) --
however, it's the new chosen pick for my local book club..so I was game.
I downloaded this book from my library on my over drive app -and started listening.
AWFUL.. ju..more
“Believing war is beyond words is an abrogation of responsibility — it lets civilians off the hook from trying to understand, and veterans off the hook from needing to explain. You don’t honor someone by telling them, “I can never imagine what you’ve been through.” Instead, listen to their story and try to imagine being in it, no matter how hard or uncomfortable that feels. If the past 10 years have taught us anything, it’s that in the age of an all-volunteer military, it is far too easy for Ame..more
'American Sniper' - 1 star
'Redeployment' - 5 stars
'Redeployment' is everything you want in a war book, an unflinching look at the disconnect between the people fighting and the country sending them to fight. It's smart in every way that 'American Sniper' is over-simplistic, showcasing the ins-and-outs of war with sensitivity and nuance whereas 'American Sniper' practically screams 'F*** yeah! Let's kill more savages in the name of freedom!'
While fiction, the voi..more
Phil Klay has a tough but tender style and this is all good stuff and I recommend this book but alas, I have to make a complaint. As usual with fiction or documentary from the soldier’s..more
'And that's an anti-war film.'
'Nothing's an anti-war film. there's no such thing.'
Except for perhaps the documentary 'Restrepo', even the grittiest movies about combat operations, even those that have an anti-war undercurrent (like 'The Hurt Locker', 'Black Hawk Down', or, yeah, Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket') still have a patina of Hollywood glamor and video game glory that..more
Although I didn't find this enjoyable (How could I?), I do agree with the writer Karen Russell, 'Redeployment is a stunning, upsetting, urgently necessary book about the impact of the Iraq war on both soldiers and civilians.'
They say you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I always wonder, why not? The stark photo of a solitary solider waiting to deploy is one of the most iconic book covers of 2014. Before winning critical acclaim,..more
Redeployment contains twelve stories, each a self-contained experience of soldiers and civilians who are or were at one time deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, the..more
This is a book about being in war and witnessing death and combats firsthand, and obviously this is a setting that is very hard for the common reader to truly understand. However, I felt like Phil Klay did an excellent job describing things so that it became understandable. I recently read another book about the war in Iraq, and with that one I didn't get the same insight as I got with Phil Klay's.
This is obviously a brutal story because it is so honest and contains raw scenes - but..more
The stories all center around American men who are serving or have served in Iraq. The author himself is a veteran of the Iraqi war. And the knowledge and experience with being overseas, but also the experiences of coming home to U.S. is definitely evident in reading this..more
'Redeployment' is one of a few landmark books that should first be read by anyone eager to offer up an uneducated opinion about the U.S. military and the duty of those who serve. Ex-marine Phil Klay presents us with a dozen short stories about soldiers' lives on the battlefield and back home. This book is up there with the likes of 'The Things They Carried' by Tim O'Brien, and 'Matt..more
I am neither a fan of military books or short stories, but I thought that it was important to hear the voices of the soldiers involved on these conflicts. For the last 10 years these wars, and the Iraq war in particular, have been a political football that continues to burns political careers. But as time pa..more
'We shot dogs. Not by accident. We did it on purpose, and we called it Operation Scooby.'
I would stop there and think, 'Really? You have to do it this way, Klay? You have to shove it in my face like Hollywood, when I'm trying to understand?'
I left the book sitting on my bedside table. It was a library book, so it became due. I returned it, unread.
About a month later..more
