The Only War We've Got

Derek Maitland

Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:  Vietnam.   It may be a bitch of a war, bloody and hot, ambivalent in its intentions, unsure in its outcome.   But—think about it—it's the only war we've got.   The only one.   So what the hell… The Only War We've Got is a brilliant, funny, vicious, and honest novel about the only war we've got. Derek Maitland knows this war intimately, and he writes as if there's no tomorrow—as, in fact, there is not for many of his warriors. Inevitably, perhaps, his novel is in essence a satire—some of its comic sequences are the most laugh-aloud in years. But death stalks laughter, and Mr. Maitland is a master of the gruesomely realistic battle scene.   Whether he is writing of the fighting men of both sides—among them Leaping Prick Smith, the pacifist medic who treats the wounded with marijuana, and North Vietnamese Colonel Khanh, who invades Saigon in a coffin; such big guns as the Vice President of South Vietnam, impressive in his black combat flying suit, a pearl-handled revolver in each hand; the long-awaited battle of Long Dong; or the bumbling Viet Cong attack on Saigon's Big PX—no matter what or whom he turns his pen upon, Derek Maitland reveals himself as a splendid writer, a thorn in the side of the war.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
