If I Die in a Combat Zone

Before writing his award-winning Going After Cacciato, Tim O'Brien gave us this searing, 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 heartfelt, If I Die in a Combat Zone has been hailed as a masterwork of art in its genre.O'Brien, Tim is the author of 'If I Die in a Combat Zone', published 1992 under ISBN 9780440343110 and ISBN 0440343119.
