In your opinion, does the book also reflects our present day? why or why not?

I think part of the book reflects our present day because it is a story of war which remains the same in any generation. The difference between war then and now is development of strategies and weapons. Even though the book is fiction, some parts are real as it also entails experiences of Kater's father.imshaima wrote: ↑12 Feb 2019, 10:24 As a person who studied Global History, I was really taken away by the story-lines of the book; how the author masterfully plotted it and captured the events or the major obstacles of the horrific period in the human history in a different and light-weighted way.
In your opinion, does the book also reflects our present day? why or why not?
If you want to be remembered long after you are gone, WRITE books worth READING or DO things worth WRITING about...

- Latest Review: You Say Goodbye by Keith Steinbaum
I totally agree. Warfare has changed a lot with the development of technology and, even, with the changes in society and politics that have changed the previous "rules" of war and what was expected. I agree we can also see it closer with the development of technology and, in some way, social media and connectivity, in general, give us a voice in social issues and we need to learn how to use it.sonya01 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 17:33 War is so different nowadays, to what it used to be. The mechanism of warfare has become far more high-tech and impersonal. It has also come closer, brought into our homes and lives through advanced communications, social media and the internet. I think the author skillfully captured the war setting of that day, but it is a far cry from what we are exposed to in the present.

I am of this opinion too. Some strategies some such as spy also still exist but perhaps the methods used may change with time depending on the setting.
