Anotácia knihy

In this authentic, moving account of the American War in Vietnam, bestselling author, Charles L. Templeton, offers us a glimpse into the surreal conundrums experienced by American and Vietnamese youth in the war. Boot: A Sorta Novel of Vietnam, is a spellbinding tale of young men in combat. It is the story of George Orwell Hill, a Marine helicopter crew chief, known to his fellow Marines as G.O. Hill joins the Marines and enters the American War in Vietnam at a time when America was experiencing unprecedented turmoil at home. America was in a time of great moral stress in 1968 and G.O. was a witness to the corruption of political, economic, and spiritual institutions, both at home and in Vietnam. G.O. Hill's transformation from a wet-behind-the-ears innocent in South Texas to a combat Marine is a beautifully crafted coming of age story. Boot affirms the uncommon valor, the resilience, and camaraderie of these young Marines who were always ready to fight, to party, and to find the next form of escaping their realities. Fans of Tim O'Brien (The Things They Carried) and Joseph Heller (Catch 22) will love this absurd tale of a Marine helicopter squadron and want to add it to their bookshelves.
