The yellow birds / Kevin Powers
Musique audio
Edité par Hachette audio. New-York - 2012
Lyrical and poignant novel, which deals with the tragic American intervention in Iraq. The narrator is a man of reason, common soldier named John Bartle, caught between two members of his platoon to uncontrollable emotions: his sergeant, fearsome and cruel fighter, and a new recruit, too young and innocent to be a soldier. The book is like a trance, beautiful and horrifying at once, Kevin Powers constantly bringing us to the battlefield nightmare where unimaginable violence falls equally on the armed forces and civilians. Like many wars before it, it seems we meaningless. The unity of Bartle soldier invades every year the same Iraqi village each year to see taken by the enemy. At the end of the book, John Bartle returned to the United States and engaged in a violent indictment of his country, which is celebrating its soldiers without taking the measure of the vicious war in which they engage in the distance. "Everyone pat us on the back, when we have one wish, cum on fire this fucking country."
