Publisher's Summary

This gripping novel is not only one of the best books written about Vietnam; it is also one of the most powerful anti-war novels in American literature.

Walter James has no face. Braiden Chaney has no arms or legs. They lost them 22 years ago, in Vietnam. Now, in the course of one long night in a V.A. hospital, these two soldiers, one black, the other white, reveal how they came to be where they are and what they can only hope to become.

Critic Reviews

"A novel of the first order....Gripping and virtually seamless." (Washington Post Book World)
"His prose has a dark, horrific urgency....A real knockout." (Newsday)
