Going After Cacciato

'To call "Going After Cacciato" a novel about war is like calling Moby-Dick a novel about whales. O'Brien's writing is crisp, authentic and grimly ironic . . . a major achievement' New York Times Book Review

'Not only the best novel about the Vietnam War, but among the finest works of fiction in contemporary American literature' Philip Caputo, Esquire

'His irony recalls that of Stendhal, his landscapes have the breadth and scope of Tolstoy's, and the essential American innocence of his vision deserves to stand beside that of Stephen Crane' National Book Award citation
