Description

Before creating his award winning Pursuing Cacciato, Tim O'Brien offered us this intensely personal account of his year as a foot soldier in Vietnam. The writer takes us with him to see fight from behind an infantryman's rifle, to wander the minefields of My Lai, to examine in to the ghostly channels, and to investigate the ambiguities of manhood and morality in a war gone horribly wrong. Searingly sincere and superbly created, Easily Die in a Combat Zone is just a masterwork of its style.
