"O'Brien has written a vital  important book-a book that matters not only to the reader
interested in Vietnam  but to anyone interested in the craft of writing as well." - Michiko

has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three.

become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their
perceptions of fact and fiction  war and peace  courage and fear and longing. The Things They
