    <body><![CDATA[Written with the all of the concision and clarity that he brings to his fiction, &quot;In Pharaoh's Army&quot; ascertains Wolff's ability to turn life experiences into dynamic storytelling.

    <body><![CDATA[If I had to pick one word to describe this book, I think it would be “insightful.” Wolff’s prose is a great combination of snappy-smart and lovely and his pacing pulls us along comfortably. Rather than give us an entirely linear account, he does this thing that works well for him where he hand...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68832484">more...</a>]]></body>

It's a memoir of Vietnam, and because I read it for a Creative Non-Fiction class, I'm left wondering whether a few things actually happened.

    <body><![CDATA[I was too self-absorbed during the 70's to pay attention to Vietnam so   I was glad that Tobias Wolff wrote his recollections of his time spent there.  He's a truly lovely writer and his account gives you a great feel for the life of the common soldier.
