This collection of linked short stories looks in on the unique community and experience of family life on an army base. A few of the stories are set overseas, but they deal primarily with the soldiers' relationships with those they've left behind and the often troublesome transition back to civilian life. The majority of the stories probe the inherent difficulties of having an absent spouse, with joys and sorrows that feel equally potent and honest.
This book had a significant impact on me. It's was heartbreaking, hopeful, and thought provoking. Although it's a children's book, I feel it should be read by everyone. In the story you follow a young boy fleeing Hitler's Germany with his family, a girl escaping Cuba and Castro in 1994, and a Syrian family in 2015 attempting to make their way to Europe after their home is bombed. These are stories that need to be heard. I feel changed after finishing this and better for it.
Though his subject may be beaten like a dead horse, Ullrich’s composition is much more akin to a live -bucking horse. Drawing on a wide spectrum of scholarly text, propaganda and anecdotes Ullrich sets out to extinguish the half-truths and urban legends surrounding the evil dictator’s rise all the while highlighting the more “human” and fallible qualities of Hitler's pre and post WWI life. Overall, this biography accomplishes its goal and is thought provoking enough to make you question your own relationship with today's socio-political environment.
