Publisher's Synopsis
'Belongs on the high, narrow shelf of first-rate fiction about battlefield experience' - New York Times Book Review 'The hard-hitting simplicity of Hemmingway and the imagination of Philip Caputo' - Nelson DeMille A green beret sergeant, one of the few remnants of a battle-battered unit fighting the North Vietnamese Army, faces a growing and darkening war with the clarity of someone who has looked death in the face. Pulling the reader into the bunkers with wry, merciless prose, he asks whether he, or whether anything, can be put back together again.
