Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War by Karl Marlantes

Trevor Reeves, January 3, 2011

I was very glad this was one of the books sent as part of Powell's Indiespendsibles. I may not have bought the book if I had seen it on the shelf as war novels are not usually a genre I read. Being more or less "given" it I felt obligated to read it.

I got deeply involved in the book and the characters. The underlying story of loyalty to comrades and how it drives men at war to act as they do was brilliantly executed. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It may be situated in a war but it is a study of interpersonal realtionships first and foremost.
