Why read it?
1 author picked No Diplomacy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What does it mean to be a hero? In No Diplomacy, Andrew Lafleche tells his unvarnished truth.
This book takes us on a tour of ‘The Sandbox’ (Afghanistan) with the Canadian Armed Forces and is as real as it gets. This short and powerful read is just that—a gut-wrenching account seen through the eyes of an infantry soldier. In it, Lafleche depicts the insanity, monotony, and futility of war and how he emerges from a near-death experience as a changed human being.
Take a deep breath before you read this one. Lafleche holds nothing back.
