Are present-day world issues such as war and poverty not enough for you to worry and feel guilty about? Yes? Then this is the book for you. In James Bacque's highly controversial novel, Other Losses, he uncovers many horrific details on the postwar treatment of German prisoners of war under the control of France and the United States. The novel is a rude awakening to the reader, as many people do not realize that the high death tolls reached during the war in concentration camps were at least matched in postwar prison camps. However, the book raises questions within itself. How is the average reader to know if the accusations made in the novel are accurate? The book also raises questions to the reader concerning the United States' current affairs in the Middle East, what else is our democratic government hiding from us?
