Looking for the Good War: American Amnesia and the Violent Pursuit of Happiness by Elizabeth D. Samet

2.0

If I was reading this book for a college class, I would probably enjoy it. But as general nonfiction it was a slog at times. I fully skipped the last chapter. Far far too many examples of films, etc. to demonstrate the arguments. There were parts I enjoyed- the Black military experience in particular. But it was so hard to read bc of the unending examples, I couldn’t get into or enjoy the positives of this book.
