THE REAL DEAL SOME1 else Larry Heinemann arrived in Vietnam on St. Patrick's Day, 1967 and spent the next year living a nightmare that could only be imagined.That is, until he put the sights, sounds, smells and other sensations down on paper in his first novel, "Close Quarters," published in 1977.Heinemann would reach the highest level of acclaim for an American author ten years after that, when he won the National Book Awa. A story that has the ring of truth. This book tells it l ok Kelly it was out in the boonies. I highly recommend this book as a no BS account of combat in Nam. This book is a part of the combat in Nam but isn't like others experiences.. Braxton Fuller said Great Book. Best Viet Nam war novel ever written
"An unremittingly honest look into the black pit of war.Larry Heinemann's voice is clear and true." -The New York Time"The best work of fiction to come out of the Vietnam War." -The Houston Chronicle"Close Quarters can stand with the finest Vietnam writing, fact or fiction." --Chicago Tribune“The most ambitious and substantial novel about the war in Vietnam . the first one that people can read 75 years from now and gain an insight into how the war was truly fought following the talk of the soldiers, you feel more like an eavesdropper than a reader.” —Kansas City Star
It is here that he embarks on the brutal downward path to wisdom that awaits every soldier. Straight from high school, too young to vote or buy himself a drink, he enters a world of mud and heat, blood and body counts, ambushes and firefights. In the tradition of Naked and the Dead and The Thin Red Line, Close Quarters is the harrowing story of how a decent kid from Chicago endures an extraordinary trial-- and returns profoundly altered to a world on the threshold of change.. From the moment his first novel was published, Larry Heinemann joined the ranks of the great chroniclers of the Vietnam conflict--Philip Caputo, Tim O&r
