From the Inside Flap

ng his award-winning <i>Going After Cacciato</i>, Tim O'Brien gave us this searing, intensely personal account of his year as a foot soldier in Vietnam. The author takes us with him -- to experience combat from behind an infantryman's rifle, to walk the minefields of My Lai, to crawl into the ghostly tunnels, and to explore the ambiguities of manhood and morality in a war gone terribly wrong. Beautifully written and heartfelt, <i>If I Die in a Combat Zone</i> has been hailed as a masterwork of art in its genre.
