In Pharaoh's Army: Memories Of A Lost War

ISBN: 0330340190
Author: Tobias Wolff
Description:
Having survived the extraordinary childhood recorded in This Boy's Life, Tobias Wolff finds himself serving in Vietnam and assigned to a unit in the Mekong Delta. A young officer out of his depth, he lives in bordeom and terror and grief for lost friends. Much has been written about the scarring Vietnam experience, but never with this blend of exactitude, humanity, grotesque humour and painful truth. Winner of the Esquire/Volvo/Waterstones Non-Fiction award
