MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, Reviewer's Choice:
There is a darkness in all of us, and how we deal with it is what determines our future, on a personal as well as a societal level. Shadow in the USA is a discussion of human nature and philosophy, as Kay Plumb argues that humanity’s power to hurt itself has run amuck. With honesty and knowledge, Shadow in the USA presents plenty to ponder and makes for a very much recommended reading.

Karl Marlantes' new book, What It Is Like To Go To War, is astounding. He was already being halied for Matterhorn, one of the best books ever written about being "in country" in Vietnam, and this book is even better than Matterhorn.
Because not only does Marlantes tell us what it's like to go to war in this book, he tells us what we need to do for those returning from war, to help them re-enter and re-adjust to civilian life.
"Hats off to you for doing a wonderful job of making a distasteful subject so entertaining."
