520    "Phil Klay's Redeployment takes readers to the frontlines 
       of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, asking us to 
       understand what happened there, and what happened to the 
       soldiers who returned. Interwoven with themes of brutality
       and faith, guilt and fear, helplessness and survival, the 
       characters in these stories struggle to make meaning out 
       of chaos. In "Redeployment", a soldier who has had to 
       shoot dogs because they were eating human corpses must 
       learn what it is like to return to domestic life in 
       suburbia, surrounded by people "who have no idea where 
       Fallujah is, where three members of your platoon died." In
       "After Action Report", a Lance Corporal seeks expiation 
       for a killing he didn't commit, in order that his best 
       friend will be unburdened. A Morturary Affairs Marine 
       tells about his experiences collecting remains-of U.S. and
       Iraqi soldiers both. A chaplain sees his understanding of 
       Christianity, and his ability to provide solace through 
       religion, tested by the actions of a ferocious Colonel. 
       And in the darkly comic "Money as a Weapons System", a 
       young Foreign Service Officer is given the absurd task of 
       helping Iraqis improve their lives by teaching them to 
       play baseball. These stories reveal the intricate 
       combination of monotony, bureaucracy, comradeship and 
       violence that make up a soldier's daily life at war, and 
       the isolation, remorse, and despair that can accompany a 
       soldier's homecoming. Redeployment is poised to become a 
       classic in the tradition of war writing. Across nations 
       and continents, Klay sets in devastating relief the two 
       worlds a soldier inhabits: one of extremes and one of 
       loss. Written with a hard-eyed realism and stunning 
       emotional depth, this work marks Phil Klay as one of the 
       most talented new voices of his generation"--|cProvided by
