Brought together one sweltering afternoon to stand guard over an ammunition dump threatened by a forest fire, they discover in each other an unexpected capacity for recklessness and violence. Far from being alarmed by this discovery, they are exhilarated by it; they emerge from their common danger full of confidence in their own manhood and in the bond of friendship they have formed.</p> <p>This confidence is shaken when a series of thefts occur. The author embraces the perspectives of both the betrayer and the betrayed, forcing us to participate in lives that we might otherwise condemn, and to recognize the kinship of those lives to our own.</p> 513604 1 2 1986 The Barracks Thief total:200|5:41|4:95|3:53|2:11|1:0| 200 766 284 17 3 1 false false Tue Mar 04 08:09:36 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 13 17:43:01 -0700 2008
