A novel written by a veteran of the war in Iraq, The Yellow Birds is the harrowing story of two young soldiers trying to stay alive.
"The war tried to kill us in the spring." So begins this powerful account of friendship and loss. In Al Tafar, Iraq, twenty-one-year old Private Bartle and eighteen-year-old Private Murphy cling to life as their platoon launches a bloody battle for the city. Bound together since basic training when Bartle makes a promise to bring Murphy safely home, the two have been dropped into a war neither is prepared for.
In the endless days that follow, the two young soldiers do everything to protect each other from the forces that press in on every side: the insurgents, physical fatigue, and the mental stress that comes from constant danger. As reality begins to blur into a hazy nightmare, Murphy becomes increasingly unmoored from the world around him and Bartle takes actions he could never have imagined.
With profound emotional insight, especially into the effects of a hidden war on mothers and families at home, The Yellow Birds is a groundbreaking novel that is destined to become a classic.

我以前认识的VET,不论去没去过IRAQ,都认为那里是个SHITHOLE。
评分关于美国士兵的书是第一次看,对于战后创伤有了更多的了解。战争是恐怖的。
评分一本写得很用力、也很富有感染力的小说,但不难见出美国创意写作教学的痕迹。去年是Tea Obreht's The Tiger's Wife,今年是Kevin Powers's The Yellow Birds,美国出版界这两年对新作家的力捧有点歇斯底里。

评分充满人性的战争反思
看完以后觉得很……一种很难形容的感觉。我一直坚持,在某种意义上讲,战争其实是没有赢家的,不管最后的结果是什么,战争的哪一方都会失去很多。 这本书从美军角度讲故事,在伊拉克,即使地形不熟悉也没有人民战争的海洋,理论上说,美军也占有优势。一个强大国家的配备完整训...
评分这是一部透露着人性的救赎的小说。无论如何,当我回想起这部小说,心中依然充满感动。就算小说给人一种现实的感觉,我依然给予一个好故事,一部好小说的评价。战争时代的,不同角色人物的故事搭建的主线,有始有终,也有感动,但他真的不需要再证明什么了。真实!震撼!只是没...
