The Yellow Birds: A Novel
Danny Says
A National Book Award Finalist (and rightly so), this book’s take on the Iraqi War captivated me in much the same way as Kathryn Bigelow’s film The Hurt Locker did. Powers – a veteran of the war – powerfully paints a picture of the effects of war that stirred me the way All Quiet on the Western Front did when I read it in ninth grade.
