I read this years ago on a high-school-issued Chrome book, but I felt the urge to reread it and honestly, it still holds up. Definitely heartbreaking, and so interesting to see the different ways in which our choices affect the people around us, even if we don't know it. The chapter on what happening in Vietnam is haunting.
