Rooney's writing is both vivid and deeply personal, drawing on his own experiences as a soldier in World War II and a war correspondent in Korea and Vietnam. He vividly recreates the chaos and terror of battle, but he also captures the moments of camaraderie and humor that can emerge even in the darkest of times.

My War is not just a war story, however. It is also a meditation on the nature of war itself. Rooney questions the wisdom of sending young men to fight and die in faraway lands, and he exposes the often-absurd bureaucracy that can make war seem more like a game than a human tragedy.

But despite his disillusionment with war, Rooney never loses sight of the human cost of conflict. He writes with compassion and empathy for the soldiers who fought and died in these wars, and he pays tribute to the courage and resilience of the civilians who endured the hardships of war.

My War is a powerful and moving memoir that provides a unique perspective on some of the most important events of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in war, history, or the human condition.
