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.

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...
评分看完以后觉得很……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...
