Title: Better than The Short-Timers
Review: Gus Hasford's first novel, The Short-Timers, was the basis for Full Metal Jacket, and this is its sequel. More powerful and personal than its predecessor, The Phantom Blooper takes readers into the world of the NVA when Private Joker becomes a prisoner of war. It is a haunting portrayal of a previously faceless enemy. If you've only read The Short-Timers or seen the movie version, you don't know the whole story!
