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. Nu arbetar han med att leta upp försvunna amerikanska soldater, levande eller döda. Condley får i uppdrag att spåra en gammal Vietnamsoldat och desertör som gått över till fienden. Det visar sig att Condley har personliga skäl att finna mannen, som fortfarande är i livet och spåren leder honom till Australien, Moskva och slutligen Bangkok.… (mehr)

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. I first read this book as a 19 year old Marine. I don't really remember what I liked about it back then, but it was probably the hard core nature of guys like Fogarty.

Webb describes his background as a decorated Marine officer serving in Vietman, a novelist, and a former member of the Reagan Administration and U.S. Senate. He's an interesting guy with good political insights. While not a current candidate for higher office, his ideas and the solutions he offers for many of the difficult areas facing our Country might make him a viable candidate for a position in an Obama administration.

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.
