Since the end of that war, thousands of books have been written that try to make sense of what was a horrific, moral collapse on the part of the United States and its allies. What separates \u003cem\u003eDaktoum\u003c\/em\u003e from the rest of these books is the author's precise focus on the middle ground of the war, a middle ground that could become an otherworldly place, defined by its own laws, and sometimes ruled by officers deemed unfit to be in combat. Christopher Upham writes about this middle ground with striking accuracy and with a passion that lifts his story out of the ordinary and into our lives. The book rises above being simply another war story, relying on the war as a backdrop to human drama, a richly engaging tale of one man's struggle to understand who he is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 398\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42122832838791,"sku":"9781735190310","price":25.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/28c1a2e62db4fdf642491c265d3d3214.webp?v=1732562705","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/daktoum-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
