Normally I am not fond of books about war, however the subject was only a small part of the plot. The inspiring part of the book was how he came to deal with his disability and run for the Senate despite the fact that he is a triple amputee.
The story could have been self-pitying and downtrodden, but Cleland shows a good attitude and personal conviction to show that he wasn't going to let his disability stop him from leading a normal life.
