Tiger Chair
Tiger Chair | Max Brooks
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
When China invades America, guerrilla warfare explodes on the streets of Los Angeles in this provocative short story about the future of war from Max Brooks, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z.
China thought it would be a quick war, an easy war. But now, years later, as the insurgency on the streets of Los Angeles escalates but the propaganda never changes, a Chinese officer can’t keep silent any longer. Torn between loyalty to his country and loyalty to his troops, he writes a brutally honest—and possibly suicidal—letter home to unmask the truth.
Brooks combines his signature meticulous research with unforgettable characters in this landmark work of speculative fiction.

I couldn‘t finish it. I made it about 25% but it was just too depressing.

China has initiated WWIII. They have attacked the U S A. Evidently, this has been the beginning of their undoing. There is a chasm of cultural understanding. And the occupiers are just beginning to realize their mistake. Dissent from within may be their final undoing. This powerful short story reminded me of All Quiet on the Western Front. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rambling musings on an imaginary war. Started out interesting but I was glad when it ended. The title comes from the name of the chair the prisoners sit in when being tortured.
