The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien 1990

In these twenty-two recollections based on the author's platoon experience, the Vietnam War is replayed with horrifying reality. Every man who fights in Vietnam carries some military item, such as a grenade, an M-16, or C-rations. But they also carry revealing personal items: Lt. Cross has photographs of his girlfriend Martha with her letters; Kiowa always has his New Testament and a pair of moccasins, while Rat Kiley brings brandy and M & M's. Each man is different, each story is different, but together they add up to one hell of a war. Books &Authors
