I have read all the same except Matterhorn. Is it on tape? It might be my book to listen to while I drive to Killington on weekends. Belinda"
There is an audio CD of it, as well as a Kindle version, of course. It's an intense war story about Vietnam, just as good as "The Things They Carried," "Going After Cacciato," and "A Rumor of War." Its focus is narrow but that just makes things more clear: the ambitions of a yount Lt. willing to scarifice his people for prestige and personal gain. Which, when you get down to it, is a theme as old as "The Iliad."
