Description
The science of war is often seen as a serious and sombre topic. However, Mary Roach's exploration of this subject reveals a more complex and fascinating side to human experience. In Grunt, Roach delves into the medical procedures, innovations and everyday realities that keep soldiers alive in extreme circumstances. From stink bombs to nuclear submarines, she examines the often-overlooked aspects of modern military life with infectious enthusiasm. This book is an engaging and insightful look at the human side of war, presented in a humorous and accessible way.
