All This and War

By Matt Eidson

In three short stories, All This and War captures the violence, absurdity, and heartbreak of one Marine's path from a recruit in bootcamp to a hardened veteran in Iraq. Choosing to skip the heroics, the collection focuses instead on little moments of humanity that manage to shine through dark and difficult times. Whether it's a Drill Instructor and his recruits sharing a laugh, friends coping with the loss of a brother in arms, or a Marine sharing a lemon poppyseed poundcake with an Afghan girl, All This and War is a book about connections forged during hard times.
