Il mondo di Grouse County è una ragnatela di cittadine sparse in un immaginario Midwest, dove le vite sono intrecciate da legami di amicizia, affetto o semplice conoscenza. È qui che Louise Darling decide di divorziare da Tiny e fa visita alla madre, Mary, per portarla fuori a pranzo prima della seduta del consiglio comunale, dove si discutono le sorti di un cane mordace. Nel frattempo, lo sceriffo Dan Norman si trova a dare la caccia al marito di Louise, per atti vandalici commessi nella scuola durante il ballo contro i vandalismi. E così Dan incontra Louise, se ne innamora, Tiny la perde per sempre, e Louise ritrova finalmente se stessa. Tom Drury sceglie di non dirigere i suoi personaggi come burattini, ma al contrario, con piccole pennellate, dai loro incontri attinge la forza per creare l’epica di Grouse County. Leggero e profondo, divertente e malinconico allo stesso tempo, La fine dei vandalismi racconta la vita, quella di ogni giorno, che macina gioie e tristezze senza sosta. E lo fa senza seguire traiettorie premeditate, accettando la fatalità dell’esistenza, in un inno alla sua pacata e ingovernabile casualità.

Gennaio 2007: la guerra in Iraq è in stallo e il presidente George W. Bush annuncia una nuova strategia con l'invio di ulteriori truppe. Tra i giovani soldati ottimisti c'è il 2° battaglione, 16° reggimento di fanteria americano, incaricato di pattugliare una delle zone più pericolose di Baghdad. Per quindici mesi, il reporter David Finkel, vincitore del Premio Pulitzer, vive con loro, documentando ogni sanguinosa fase della loro avventura. Il suo racconto offre un ritratto implacabile della guerra moderna, dove ogni pattugliamento è un gioco al massacro e ogni rifiuto può nascondere un ordigno esplosivo. Le settimane passano e le vittime aumentano, trasformando radicalmente i soldati che affrontano questa terra di nessuno. Le pagine restituiscono i loro volti e le loro storie, rivelando le vite di ragazzi messi alla prova in situazioni estreme. Il reportage non si limita a descrivere l'orrore quotidiano, ma esplora anche le conseguenze meno visibili del conflitto: il lutto, il dolore e gli incubi che questi soldati portano a casa, segnati per sempre dalle loro esperienze in Medio Oriente. Straziante e veritiero, il libro ha riscosso un immenso successo di pubblico e critica negli USA, diventando un classico del genere.
