The Things They Carried
depicts the men of Alpha Company as told by Tim
O’Brien who has survived his tour in Vietnam. They
battle the enemy and occasionally each other. In
their relationships we see their isolation and
loneliness, their rage and fear.
With the creative verve of the greatest fiction and
the intimacy of a searing autobiography, The
Things They Carried is a testament to the men
who risked their lives in America’s most
controversial war. It calls to order the courage,
determination, and luck we all need to survive. |
