J.G. Montgomery's Reviews > Meditations in Green

Probably the best Vietnam war era novel you have never heard about. Amazingly vivid detail and imagery showing the horror and dysfunction of combat, albeit, through the eyes of a non combat soldier slowly going mad while the world around him does the same. At times almost incomprehensible and incoherent, it's chaos seems to shadow the world in which the characters themselves live. Definitely worth reading although, beware, at some stage you too may find that you have no idea of what is going on as it's cadence seemingly follows that of the war itself, long periods of boredom and unsettling introspection followed by short sharp bursts of violence.
