From the Inside Flap
the most hard-hitting of all the Vietnam novels." The Boston Herald.
In Vietnam, a new guy loses his rawness fast. Almost as fast as he can lose his life.
Gabriel Sauers of Two Squad is newly arrived in Nam, a graduate of basic training ill-prepared for the realities of war. In the coming months, he'll get his real training: incoming mortars and relentless enemy attacks will turn the green recruit into a death-hardened veteran . . . or kill him.
From Publishers Weekly
F.N.G. stands for "fucking new guy"the nickname given to incoming Vietnam recruits by the infantrymen who have arrived before them. Gabriel Sauers is the F.N.G. of Bodey's first novel, which is essentially a documentary-style account of the young Ohio house painter's year-long term of duty in a series of mud-soaked dugouts near the Cambodian border. While the narrative does provide us with a fiction-verite chronicle of the combatants' grim existencefrom simply enduring the tedium of waiting for time to pass, to seeing comrades maimed and killedwe are always kept at a certain critical distance from the protagonist's deepest inner experience of the conflict. It is only toward the end of the novel, when a therapist coaxes a particularly traumatic event from Sauers' blocked memory, that we begin to feel with him. The effect of that delayed emotional proximity is that we're left wishing that the author had broken through to Sauers's subconscious earlier on. Foreign rights: Joseph Spieler. December
