Report about Book "We Pierce"

Events :
The year is 1990. One brother, Smith, goes to war. The other brother, Sam, stays home and protests against the war.
Smith Huebner is a sergeant in the army, gunner of an Abrams tank leading
the way into Iraq in the first Gulf War, a competent, trustworthy soldier, married
and expecting a baby. His younger brother, Sam, is trying to protest against the war
as a writer and teacher in Manhattan, but he drinks too much, takes drugs and soon
is broke, addicted and desperate. The past has shaped both brothers' characters.
Ironically, it is Sam who forgives their abusive father for driving their mother
away; Smith can manage with war but not with family history
