I don't understand why middle school boys are so intrigued by war, but they are. World War II used to be the big interest, but with more and more middle school students having grandfathers who were involved in Vietnam, I have had a lot of requests for books from that era, and there aren't a lot of them out there. This four book series is tremendous. It gives the boys what they want (lots of violence and descriptions of fighting) but certainly points out that war is an awful, awful thing.
Good Points
This series filled a very big gap and gives unflinching accounts of what war was like. It was interesting to have each book from a different character's perspective. No matter what Lynch writes, it's good, but these were especially awesome.
