A CLASSIC FROM THE
NEW YORK TIMES
BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
THE THINGS THEY CARRIED
"To call
Going After Cacciato
a novel about war is like calling
Moby-Dick
a novel about whales."
So wrote
The
New York Times
of Tim O'Brien's now classic novel of Vietnam. Winner of the 1979 National Book Award,
captures the peculiar mixture of horror and hallucination that marked this strangest of wars.
In a blend of reality and fantasy, this novel tells the story of a young soldier who one day lays down his rifle and sets off on a quixotic journey from the jungles of Indochina to the streets of Paris. In its memorable evocation of men both fleeing from and meeting the demands of battle,
stands as much more than just a great war novel. Ultimately it's about the forces of fear and heroism that do battle in the hearts of us all.
Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader’s guide and bonus content
