Book #3 - If I Die in a Combat Zone: Box Me Up and Ship Me Home

If I Die in a Combat Zone: Box Me Up and Ship Me Home
Author: Tim O'Brien
Genre: Military
Pages: 224
Pages to Date: 1409

The Good:
This is a stark honest look at what life was like for a thinking man in Vietnam. If I Die in a Combat Zone does not focus so much on the battles and fighting of the war, but rather, gives a brilliant look at the ennui that soldiers suffered during the Vietnam.

The Bad:
I can't really think of anything I didn't like about this book.

The Verdict:
If I Die in a Combat Zone is a very good book that delves into the psychology of what it's like to be in combat Vietnam.
