No it's NOT all true. It begins true, like the first couple chapters, then it spirals into 100% creative fiction. Please do not trouble your brain & emotions over fiction.
The best fiction can be quite troubling, the trick is knowing the difference and/but allowing the troubles. Good art can move you. Great art compells you to move yourself.
What years were you in Elan, since you are the obvious expert? And even if the Elan part was creative fiction, are you saying that I shouldn't care about the children who really went through that? Should I watch Saving Private Ryan and not "trouble my brains and emotions" about war because "Tom Hanks wasn't really a soldier"?
You sound like a sociopath.
