As soon as I realized what was happening to ME as I was listening to the introduction I turned it off and found the beginning of the book. It set HER tone, justified though it might be, not mine. It just didn't belong at the beginning of a book that I wanted to discover for myself. I'm not saying that her outrage is unjustified. It also gave away much more of the plot than I remember from the movie and certainly more than I wanted to hear before reading the book myself. Unfortunately, I didn't know (or didn't pay attention to) the fact that there was to be an introduction by a mother who had lost her son in Iraq that was intended to create a sense of the outrage she felt at losing her son in a war that was unjustified. I finally purchased it from Audible a few days ago. I saw the movie in 1971 when I was a teenager and had wanted to read the book ever since. ![]()
