SynopsisA classic from the New York Times bestselling author of The Things They Carried "One of the best, most disturbing, and most powerful books about the shame that was / is Vietnam." -- Minneapolis Star and Tribune Before writing his award-winning Going After Cacciato , Tim O'Brien gave us this intensely personal account of his year as a foot soldier in Vietnam. The author takes us with him to experience combat from behind an infantryman's rifle, to walk the minefields of My Lai, to crawl into the ghostly tunnels, and to explore the ambiguities of manhood and morality in a war gone terribly wrong. Beautifully written and searingly heartfelt, If I Die in a Combat Zone is a masterwork of its genre. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader's guide and bonus content.

Grunt's life in Nam during the war
This is a quick and easy read. The author is describing his Army life, including a tour in Vietnam, in a non-political way. Those who have served in the military will not learn as much about the war as those who have not. Read with other histories of the war, such as Fire In The Lake, Vietnam A History, and A Bright And Shinning Lie, to just name a few, will broaden the reader's understanding.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
