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.

就不要妄想詩人能給你寫齣什麼故事性
評分作者在書中以第一人稱Bart分兩條時間綫敘述在伊拉剋戰爭時和休假及退役後的生活。兩個年輕人Bart21歲,Murph18歲,都為生存而戰,詳細的描述瞭他們在伊拉剋作戰的艱苦環境。戰爭是可怕的,軍人也有權害怕,他們曾說寜願美國馬上投降,隻希望自己遠離這一切,這是人之常情。在戰爭中經常會看到戰友死去,大多時候是聽說某連死去瞭一個人,覺得很遙遠,而當一個人死在M身旁時一切都變瞭,M心理極度恐懼與厭惡戰爭,尤其是當那個女醫生也被炸死時,他徹底“死去”,裸奔齣軍營,最後被伊拉剋人們殘忍殺害,Bart找到他時隱瞞瞭這些,將他的屍體拋入河中。M的媽媽堅持要求真相,B被調查,為他就那麼替她做瞭決定而付齣牢獄1000多天的代價。B從戰爭中迴來時,經曆瞭很久封閉的生活,一直在逃避,戰爭對人的心理創傷是多麼大啊
評分覺得學完戰爭文學後就對這種題材情有獨鍾啊……
評分充滿人性的戰爭反思
評分就不要妄想詩人能給你寫齣什麼故事性
确实是一部好作品。它的主题也是“寻找”二字:寻找战争的意义,同时也是对自己灵魂的寻找。小说是一个主线明确的一气呵成的故事,文字透露着文艺的气息,越往后却越压抑,的确是现实主义的小说流派。战争始终是残酷的,需要避免的。可是,它依旧在被继续着,在扰乱当地的生活...
評分文不对题,无须在意 作者用如梦呓般迷蒙的语调,勾勒出残酷的战争画面,整个的伊拉克战场,像笼罩在厚重的浓雾里,压抑地透不过气来,并且这种压抑在毫无知觉的时候一点点加深,等到反应过来时,早已陷入其中。 就我而言,这部小说显然是让人不舒服的。因为它引起的不仅仅是对...
評分说道伊拉克战争,我就想起了2003年的时候,我还在家里悠闲的看着电视的时候,新闻报道说美国队伊拉克发动了战争,当时看着没什么感觉,反正没有发生在自己国家。10年之后,长大了,对战争有了新的一层认识。战争不管是对受害的国家而言,还是对发动的国家而言,每一个参与到战...
評分这应该是关于伊拉克战争最有深意的一部小说了,节奏上的舒缓但是并不缓慢。主人公的冷静,节奏的舒缓反衬战争的可怕,精准的射击,很刺激。更表现伊拉克战争的残酷。战争永远是这个世上最不正义的事情,不知道美国在为了自己的利益而发动战争的时候,有没有想过那些被战争摧毁...
