Kien's job is to search the Jungle of Screaming Souls for corpses. This book is his attempt to understand the eleven years of his life he gave to a senseless war. Based on true experiences of Bao Ninh and banned by the communist party, this novel is revered as the 'All Quiet on the Western Front for our era'.
Bao Ninh was one of 500 hundred men who served with the Glorious 27th Youth Brigade, but was also one of the only 10 who survived. This is his autobiographical novel, and will appeal to fans of Wilfred Owen and such titles as "All Quiet on the Western Front".
