A book about young men transformed by war, written by a veteran whose dazzling literary gifts gripped my attention from the first page to the last. The Wall Street JournalFriedmans sober and striking new memoir . . . [is] on a par with Tim OBriens The Things They Carried its Israeli analog. The New York Times Book ReviewIt was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today. The hill, in Lebanon, was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for casualties. Awardwinning writer Matti Friedman recreates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in ways large and small, and foreshadow the unwinnable conflicts the United States would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.Pumpkinflowers is a reckoning by one of those young soldiers now grown into a remarkable writer. Part memoir, part reportage, part history, Friedmans powerful narrative captures the birth of todays chaotic Middle East and the rise of a twentyfirstcentury type of war in which there is never a clear victor and media images can be as important as the battle itself.Raw and beautifully rendered, Pumpkinflowers will take its place among classic war narratives by George Orwell, Philip Caputo, and Tim OBrien. It is an unflinching look at the way we conduct war today.

I recently finished 'A Soldier's Story of a Forgotten War' and it really hit home. The author does a fantastic job capturing the emotional struggle of the soldiers. It's more than just history; it feels personal!

Insightful but a bit dry
This book provides a deep dive into a war that many have forgotten, but I found parts of it dragged a little. I respect the research, but some chapters felt overly detailed for my taste. Worth a read if you're into military history.
