Brandon Condley är en före detta marinsoldat med oläkta minnen från striderna i Vietnams djungel. Han bär på sorgen över den kvinna han älskade som dödats av kommunisterna för sitt samröre med honom.

I think this is one of the best military novels ever written. It brings life to the love/hate relationship that so many Marines and sailors have toward their service.

Of all the books I’ve read about the Vietnam War, only two have been novels: this one and Red Flags by Juris Jurvevics. Fields of Fire is definitely a Naked and the Dead/Thin Red Line foxhole kind of story. The home front and love interest stories seem like necessary dramatic distractions. But James Webb is dead-on with his battlefield reports.
