Matterhorn
Trade paper edition in very good condition. Slight wear to cover.
“It was all absurd, without reason or meaning. People who didn’t know each other were going to kill each other over a hill none of them cared about.”
Matterhorn is a visceral and spellbinding novel about what it is like to be a young man at war. It is an unforgettable novel that transforms the tragedy of Vietnam into a powerful and universal story of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice; a parable not only of the war in Vietnam but of all war, and a testament to the redemptive power of literature.
