   What do you think about the Yellow Birds?

   • The most pertinent and obvious thing to say about The Yellow Birds is that it is about the Iraq War, written by a veteran who served as a machine gunner in Mosul and Tal Afar. This is worth mentioning because that war is still a recent and polarizing event. Have an opinion, and you are likely to get a disproportionate response.

   Did the Yellow Birds help?

   • The Yellow Birds didn't help. This is as disturbing a novel as you'll read about war. The horrors of the Iraq war were bad enough to see from news reports flashed into my living room, but to see it from the inside out, as it were, from the perspective of a soldier in the thick of it, was difficult to digest.
