Could anyone recommend a good book about the horrors of war?

The Thin Red Line.

It doesn't lay the horrors on thick, but its matter of factness about war can be sickening if you think about it a lot.

I read a book about the tunnel rats in Vietnam. It was alright but I can't remember the name.

Bloods: Black Veterans of the Vietnam War: An Oral History

Read excerpts of this in a history class and there's a lot of carnage described

This is based on Pulitzer Prize based reporting on the warcrimes committed by 1st Battalion (Airborne), 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade (Separate), 101st Airborne Division, who were assigned seek and destroy missions in highly populated areas. They are the ones from which the whole "string of ears" thing came from.

This is about the Canadian Peacekeeping mission to Rwanda.

First hand accounts of the genocidal brutality that happened there. It was hard to read.
