From Baghdad With Love A Marine the War and a Dog Named Lava Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction Series
>> Lava s Story
This is the BEST book I have ever read Even though the story of Lava was so touching it gave a frank insight into the war This story is one that I d love to see on the big screen
>> A Great Easy To Read Story
Being an ex Army soldier of the OIF/OEF time I have a tendency to be drawn towards Iraq stories You could say that my draw becomes almost magnetic when it involves dogs With that being said the second I discovered From Baghdad With Love it skyrocketed to the top of my must read pile
Even with my biases this book was absolutely phenomenal It is extremely easy to read and has the feel of talking to a war buddy in this case LTC Jay Kopelman as he illustrates the journey of his 4 pawed buddy Lava s journey home to America The book may not be absolutely correct when it comes to writing and journalism There are a lot of right and like s in it but I think instead of hindering the story it brings you closer to it There s a bluntness to a soldier things aren t sugar coated or dazzled up and there s an understanding of war that many people can t understand LTC Kopelman doesn t bother to make sure what he s saying is politically correct he just calls it like it is which I also enjoyed
Soldiers are an interesting lot From a vet side of view I often read these types of books because we re not exactly normal in the head anymore and it gives me a long lost feeling of belonging So I immediately was brought to the familiar comfort of soldier to soldier war stories But I don t think you have to be a soldier or even a dog lover for that matter to feel the profound impact that this story will have on you deep inside
Whether you are looking for something that s easy to read or you just want an incredible story about a heroic journey this book hits it right on the head
>> A difficult book to read but overall a heartwarming story of rescue for both animal and man
I honestly felt that this book was one of the most memorable and true to life books that I have read in many years I would recommend however that the book not be given or read to children or young teenagers because of the graphic descriptions of war injuries and how clearly descriptions of those injuries from bombs and other devices had left soldiers dismembered and near death so many times over during this war The one prevailing theme of a heroic soldier and his rescued canine angel absolutely made this book and its story one I will never forget or cease to be amazed at
