The Kite Runner matches The Things They Carried in this explosive debut that maps the blurry lines between good and bad, soldier and civilian, victor and vanquished. It is Apr 2003. American causes have taken Baghdad and are now charged with receiving hearts and imagination. But this essential tipping point is scarcely identified for what it is, as some miscalculations and blunders fuels an already-simmering insurgency objective on making Iraq another graveyard of empires. In amazing and propulsive prose, Brian Van Reet explores the lives on both edges of the battle lines: Cassandra, a 19-year-old gunner on an American Humvee who is captured during a deadly firefight and awakens in a prison cell; Abu Al-Hool, a lifelong mujahedeen beset with a simmering problems of conscience as he challenges against foes from without and within, including the new wave of a lot more radicalized jihadists; and Specialist Sleed, a container crewman who moves along with a "victimless" crime, the results of which tend to be dreadful than any he can have imagined. Depicting a war spinning rapidly uncontrollable, destined to become a modern typical, Spoils is an unsparing and morally complicated book that chronicles the achingly real human cost of battle.
