This war no longer has anything to do with knightly conduct or with the agreements of the Geneva Convention.
Somewhere along the line, I realized that I liked telling stories, and I decided that I would try writing. Ten years later, I finally got a book published. It was hard. I had no skills. I knew nothing about the business of getting published. So I had to keep working at it.
I think by writing about a place with great specificity, you manage to make it universal.
