"When I was an undergrad, I took a course on the Vietnam War, and when I was in graduate school, I team-taught a course on literature of the Vietnam War. I'm no expert, but the professor who led the course, Dr. John Clark Pratt, is probably the pre-eminent expert on literature of the Vietnam War, and our university, Colorado State, houses the largest collection of Vietnam War lit. I love Tim O'Brien, but for my money, this book by Crumley is the finest book on the Vietnam War. It's not bloody or full of battle scenes, but it disturbs deeply, the way a good book should."
