Joe Haldeman - War Year [Kindle azw3] (Size: 1.85 MB)
DescriptionJoe Haldeman - War Year  Following the path of a combat engineer through his tour in Viet Nam. The writing style is very simple and straightforward, not getting too caught up in details or characterization. You get names for characters, and maybe some insight into a personality trait or two, but it's really just enough for an ID. As a result, you won't get very involved with any of the characters, but they serve to tell a good story. I believe that this was Joe Haldeman's first effort to get his wartime experiences in print, and it reads as such: there are some instances in the story that seem very personal and too real. Certain activities are laid out with an education slant, so you get some good information about what GIs had to do to survive. The ending is quite abrupt and darkly humorous, and contributes even more to the feeling of detachment initiated by the slight characterization.
