PRAISE FOR JAMES WEBB’S

Fields of Fire

“Few writers since Stephen Crane have portrayed men at war with such a ring of steely truth.”
—The Houston Post

“A novel of such fullness and impact, one is tempted to compare it to Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead.”
—The Oregonian

“In swift, flexible prose that does everything he asks of it—including a whiff of hilarious farce just to show he can do it—Webb gives us an extraordinary range of acutely observed people, not one a stereotype, and as many different ways of looking at that miserable war. . . . Fields of Fire is a stunner.”
