### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***L on 1 April 2013*

Un merveilleux ouvrage entre le roman, les nouvelles et la poésie. Sur la guerre du Viet Nam, certes mais qui pourrait décrire l'âme de tous ceux qui, un jour, se retrouvent une arme à la main, jeunes et ne sachant pas pourquoi ils sont là. Plus que tout, un chef d'oeuvre de la littérature mondiale.
