5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent deconstruction of american war lit!, Mar 29 2011
By Brian Schneider - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soldiers Once and Still: Ernest Hemingway, James Salter, and Tim O'Brien (Paperback)
I'll be concise. This book is so good that it is serving as a jumping-off point for my PhD into contemporary American war lit.
Being able to dispense with the myth of Vietnam as a "postmodern war" really helps separate literary terms from military subjects, which frees me work more closely, and somewhat more formally, with the short stories in the realm of veteran lit.
