Review

"Once again the reader learns that war is hell--even when your side is supposedly the winner."

Publisher's note

The first novel of the Vietnam War written from the point of view of the North Vietnamese, The Sorrow of War has been hailed by critics not only as the best novel to emerge from the Vietnam experience, but as one of the greatest war novels of the century. National ads, media.

Annotation

In this novel, Kien, once in the infantry at Hanoi, must now retrieve and bury the dead bodies from one of the bloodiest battles of the Vietnam War. As he does so, he reflects on his youth, and then moves on to a career as a writer in Hanoi, trying to make sense of the war itself and the terrible savageries he has witnessed. This is the first novel of the Vietnam War published in the West that is told from the point of view of the North Vietnamese.
