BOOK CLUB - The World Played Chess

The World Played Chess, by Robert Dugoni
4.4 on Goodreads

Thinking of Memorial Day this month, this thought-provoking and illustrative book is engrossing and will provide lots to talk about! One reviewer (of many) provides the following passage:

"Told in three different timelines, one during the Vietnam war, one 10 years later in the 70s and one in the mid 2010s, it’s the story of three different young men turning 18 but to me it was more about the first two and their relationship.

Harrowing in parts, this will have you crying, laughing, rooting for the characters and totally engrossed in the story.

There are large passages that are a soldiers journal from his time in Vietnam and even if you have no interest in the war or reading about it I guarantee you will enjoy it.

The character development here, story telling and story structure are just damn perfect. One of those books that you don’t want to end, and easy 5 stars for me.

Done miss this one."
