我以前认识的VET,不论去没去过IRAQ,都认为那里是个SHITHOLE。
评分关于美国士兵的书是第一次看,对于战后创伤有了更多的了解。战争是恐怖的。
评分战争是残酷的,对于军人的心理创伤常人无法想象。可惜的是军人为了国家的牺牲往往只是源于politician的贪婪。

Kevin Powers was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University, and holds an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin, where he was a Michener Fellow in Poetry. He served in the US Army in 2004 and 2005 in Iraq, where he was deployed as a machine gunner in Mosul and Tal Afar. This is his first novel.
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.

文不对题,无须在意 作者用如梦呓般迷蒙的语调,勾勒出残酷的战争画面,整个的伊拉克战场,像笼罩在厚重的浓雾里,压抑地透不过气来,并且这种压抑在毫无知觉的时候一点点加深,等到反应过来时,早已陷入其中。 就我而言,这部小说显然是让人不舒服的。因为它引起的不仅仅是对...
评分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...
评分作者用柔情来记录残酷的战争,用冷静来叙述疯狂的战争。他告诉我们人性本善。斯特林跟巴特尔、默夫说“你们俩是我的人了”,我愿意相信这个时候斯特尔在心底用了百分百的承诺,对他们会做尽可能的保护;巴特尔一直羞于自己的不敢承担,但被突如其来的炮弹波冲击间歇喊出口地却...
评分溯流而上,战争的疯狂把人物塑造成不同的模样,恐惧越深,越接近精神世界的尽头,总而言之,深刻的寓意,宏大的场面,再加上震撼人心的观后感,使得《黄鸟》真正成为了一部登峰造极的战争史诗小说。即使对不喜好的战争题材,我也感受到了作家的用心和对人性的品味。这一点上,...
