OUR WAR by Craig DiLouie – Review
Posted September 16, 2019 by Tammy in 5 stars, Reviews / 37 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A powerful and realistic portrayal of a near future civil war, Our War is a harrowing, emotional and ultimately uplifting story about the nature of war. “After we win this war, we can put away the guns for good.” Last year I was blown away by Craig DiLouie’s One of Us, a grim, […]
