Green on Blue by Elliot AckermanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not bad, not great. I liked the setting & context--in modern-day Afghanistan--as well as the perspective the author chose to write the novel from, that of of a young Afghan who gets recruited into a special Afghan army unit. The author--who served in the US military on several tours in Afghanistan (those tours usually being 6 months or so)--tries hard & has learned some about Afghan, specifically Pashtun, culture, but there were things that just weren't completely accurate and were a little hard to swallow. The story & action seemed to drag at times. Read on my Kindle.
