A Country Such As This

DOUBLEDAY

They each had their reasons for being a soldier. They each had their illusions. Goodrich came from Harvard. Snake got the tattoo â€” Death Before Dishonor â€” before he got the uniform. And Hodges was haunted by the ghosts of family heroes. They were three young men from different worlds plunged into a white-hot, murderous realm of jungle warfare as it was fought by one Marine platoon in the An Hoa Basin, 1969. They had no way of knowing what awaited them. Nothing could have prepared them for the madness to come. And in the heat and horror of battle they took on new identities, took on each other, and were each reborn in fields of fire.... Fields of Fire is James Webbâ€™s classic, searing novel of the Vietnam War, a novel of poetic power, razor-sharp observation, and agonizing human truths seen through the prism of nonstop combat. Weaving together a cast of vivid characters, Fields of Fire captures the journey of unformed men through a man-made hell â€” until each man finds his fate.

BANTAM BOOKS

The innocence of the 1950s and turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s - years when America reached out and touched the heavens only to be torn apart by internal conflict and a war in Southeast Asia - provide a dramatic setting for this unforgettable story of three men and the women they love, carving a place for themselves in a nation of change. We experience their passions, tragedies, and triumphs as they take stock of their lives, their country, and the cost of success.

As a peacetime battle rages in a distant Third World desert, two politicians--a cunning, young bureaucrat and a savvy, political deal maker--wage a war of their own over the love of one woman
