Please note: This title is a required book for American Gold LLATL program, as it is used in one of the five book studies.
This powerful study of a young soldier’s struggle with the horrors, both within and without, that war unleashes, strikes the reader with its undeniable realism, and with its masterful description of the moment-by-moment riot of emotions felt by men under fire. The author’s genius is apparent, as much as his sharp, colourful prose in his iconic portrayal of an episode of war so intense, so immediate, so real, that the terror of battle becomes ones own. A masterpiece.
