About
You may like this if you’re interested in bleak, unsentimental war stories and can handle a loose, episodic structure, especially if Men in War or Play Dirty worked for you; Not for you if you want clear plotting or close character focus.
Pros: powerful anti-war message; stark war atmosphere; historically interesting setting | Cons: thin story; hard to follow; emotionally distant
