This book the Ghosts Of War is about a boy that wanted change but he knew if he did not fight who would? His answer was him, he wanted to be in the Army so he could change how the war of terror went, he may be one person but one person can do a lot and change many things. He than signs up for the army  and soon realises how hard being a soldier really is but he never second guesses himself and keeps training until he is ready for the real challenge, the battle field. But as expected the battle field is not an easy going adventure it is dirty and full of pain and death from the lost and starving animals to the destroyed and abandoned villages and there equally hurt villagers he soon realises the united states are not the real one being hurt from this war, it is the native people of the middle east that are!

So as you can see this is a war book about a person who wanted change. The theme is war and to an extent love or romance with his fiancee Heather who get married in the book but sense he is in the army it is a long distance relationship which has its troubles.

In this book i learned that we can not take our freedom for granted in this country and that soldiers have a very hard time training and putting there lives on the line but the will always do it for there country. 

In my opinion this one of my favorite books i have ever read, it has a lot of facts about the tools and gear they use and it is not biased about how each side feels it shows the pain the people in the middle east feel and how we get angry and mourn our losses well they don’t have the time to such things or else they will be the one being mourned. I would say this book uses pathos because it uses 9/11 which obviously was very sad so sad infact i pushed the main character to join the army.

So in conclusion this book was well worth the time to read and that is rare for me to say because i don’t read too much but this book was right up my ally and if you like war books you will like this book too.
