SynopsisA classic, life-changing meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling, with more than two-million copies in print Depicting the men of Alpha Company--Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O'Brien, who survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three--the stories in The Things They Carried opened our eyes to the nature of war in a way we will never forget. It is taught everywhere, from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing, and in the decades since its publication it has never failed to challenge our perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, and courage, longing, and fear., In celebration of the 20th anniversary of it's original publication, a cloth edition of Tim O'Brien's classic novel.
This book is in better condition than I imagined. The quality of the book is outstanding and none of the pages were written on or torn. Overall, this was a great buy and I recommend this book to anyone interested in the personal and historical context of Vietnam.
