IF I DIE IN A COMBAT ZONE(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Before writing his award-winning Going After Cacciato,
Tim O’Brien gave us this 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 searingly heartfelt, If
I Die in a Combat Zone is a masterwork of its genre.

　　Tim O’Brien received the 1979 National Book Award in Fiction
for Going After Cacciato. His novel The Things They
Carried won France’s prestigious Prix de Meilleur Livre
Etranger and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize. His two most
recent novels, In the Lake of the Woods and Tomcat in
Love, were national bestsellers.

　　O’Brien brilliantly and quietly evokes the foot soldier’s
daily life in the paddies and foxholes, evokes a blind, blundering
war. . . . Tim O’Brien writes with the care and eloquence of
someone for whom communication is still a vital possibility. . . .
A personal document of aching clarity. . . . A beautiful, painful
book.
　　–The New York Times Book Review
　　”One of the best, most disturbing, and most powerful books about
the shame that was / is Vietnam.”
　　–Minneapolis Star and Tribune — Review
