The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
What soldiers carried in
Vietnam.
Rating:
BThis is a mosaic of essays and
shorts that piece together in a way that reflects the frenetic feel of the
Vietnam war. It gives a sense of the emotional, physical, and social demands of
the war and gives a window to the befores and afters of soldiers lives.
Highly recommended for those who have
read little on the war (like
me).
