In This Boy’s Life Tobias Wolf created an unforgettable memoir
of an American childhood. Now he gives us a precisely and sometimes
pitilessly remembered account of his young manhood – a young
manhood that become entangled in the tragic adventure that was
Vietnam. Mordantly funny, searingly honest, In Pharoah’s Army is a
war memoir in the tradition of George Orwell and Michael Herr.
the theatrics of his fellow Americans, or the unraveling of his own
illusions, Wolff brings to this work the same uncanny eye for
detail, pitiless candor and mordant wit that made This Boy’s Life a
modern classic.
Painful…powerful…brilliant. The book is remarkable in its
language, which is as supple and distilled as any contemporary
American writer’s; in its economy; in its structure; and, most of
all, in its candor, humor, and generosity of spirit…By every
measure of feeling and technique, it’s a magnificent and sobering
achievement. — Chicago Tribune
