Ehrhart: \"As a poet and editor, Bill Ehrhart is clearly one of the major figures in Vietnam War literature.\" This autobiographical account of the war, the author's first extended prose work, demonstrates Ehrhart's abilities as a writer of prose as well. Vietnam-Perkasie is grim, comical, disturbing, and accurate. The presentation is novelistic—truly, a \"page-turner\"—but the events are all real, the atmosphere intensely evocative.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523048927512,"sku":"9780870239571","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/vietnam-perkasie-a-combat-marine-memoir-paperback-softback-9780870239571","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
