Tim O'Brien served a year's tour of duty in Vietnam. This book is fictional but is credited with providing a realistic look at what a tour of duty in Vietnam was like. In one chapter, O'Brien's character questions why the US was involved in Vietnam.

Based on the experiences of the characters in this book, a tour of duty in Vietnam was well worth missing.
