Title: Most truthful account of Vietnam...
Product review: if you believe that truth is a mixture of hard facts and individual perceptions. In one of O'Brien's stories, "The Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong," fictional Tim O'Brien says that he could never trust the tales of his friend Rat Kiley because he blurred the lines of fiction and reality. But in war, the atrocities can feel unreal. In The Things They Carried, O'Brien masterfully weaves the more technical aspects of war with heartbreaking anecdotes about his comrades. A wonderful, quick read, O'Brien created the pinnacle of wartime memoirs.
