I have mentioned that I do not read a much fiction these days, but while looking for a Kindle biography on Audie Murphy that I haven't read, I came across a fictional book that I have read, a couple of times, years ago.
The book is Last Reveille by David Morrell, the author of the book Rambo, on which the movie by the same name was based.
Last Reveille was published in 1977 and that was when I first read it, although like I said, I have read it at least once more since then, but that had to be before 1990.
The book book, is packed away in one of the many boxes that hold my books that were purchased before 1990 and I just couldn't resist ordering it for my Kindle.
It is set in 1916 and describes the life of a new cavalry soldier who is part of the group that invades Mexico chasing Poncho Villa.
The new recruit asks an old civilian scout to teach him how to be a soldier and the book explores their relationship and war and killing.
Good stuff.
The Kindle edition is the 35th anniversary edition and apparently has some additions or changes made to it by the author.
One last note, I read Morrell's book Rambo when it was first published and if you only know of John Rambo from the movie, I recommend you read the book.
It will give you a completely different take on Rambo and the sheriff who was after him.
