Pressezitat
“Karl Marlantes has written a staggeringly beautiful book on combat—what it feels like, what the consequences are and above all, what society must do to understand it. In my eyes he has become the preeminent literary voice on war of our generation. He is a natural storyteller and a deeply profound thinker who not only illuminates war for civilians, but also offers a kind of spiritual guidance to veterans themselves. As this generation of warriors comes home, they will be enormously helped by what Marlantes has written—I’m sure he will literally save lives.” —Sebastian Junger“What It Is Like to Go to War ought to be mandatory reading by potential infantry recruits and by residents of any nation that sends its kids—Marlantes’s word—into combat.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“In this thoughtful, literate work of self-exorcism, Marlantes tells tales of incredible bravery as well as brutality.” —People Magazine
“Marlantes brings candor and wrenching self-analysis to bear on his combat experiences in Vietnam, in a memoir-based meditation whose intentions are three-fold: to help soldiers-to-be understand what they’re in for; to help veterans come to terms with what they’ve seen and done; and to help policymakers know what they’re asking of the men they send into combat.” —The New Yorker
“A precisely crafted and bracingly honest book.” —The Atlantic
“[T]he passion and self-revealing pain of What It Is Like make it a must-read for anyone interested in [the Vietnam] war . . . Marlantes is top-notch in describing ground combat and its morally brutalizing effect on warriors. . . . With an intellect as sharp and critical as Marlantes’, and a temperament not afraid to display confusion or remorse, What It Is Like is more
... mehr
than worth the effort of any reader.” —Los Angeles Times
