"'The Things They Carried'...is one of the finest books, fact or fiction, written about the Vietnam War." "Tim O'Brien hasn't forgotten; his brilliant story 'The Things They Carried' remains for many the definitive fictional work on the Vietnam War. A collection of linked stories about a platoon of soldiers with 'no sense of strategy or mission' regarding the war they are part of, the book is sewn up airtight by O'Brien using his real, younger self, who served as an infantryman in Vietnam, as one of the characters." "...O'Brien plays with the embattled terrain of a soldier's memory, with his embellishments of memories in conscious reconstructions--stories told, then corrected--to startling and intriguing effects in narrative and language." First lineFirst Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. AnnotationA collection of short story-like episodes about the lives of a group of footsoldiers in Vietnam: their present existence in the alien jungle, their childhoods, and their futures in America after the war is long over.
