What is Pumpkinflowers : a Soldier's Story of a Forgotten War about?

x, 254 pages : 21 cm It was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today. The hill, in Lebanon, was called the Pumpkin; 'flowers' was the military code word for 'casualties.' Matti Friedman re-creates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in ways large and small, and foreshadow the unwinnable conflicts the United States would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere "Reader's guide and other special features inside"--Page 4 of cover Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-242)
