What It Is Like to Go to War (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

The Sympathizer

Read this novel with care; it is easy to read, wry, ironic, wise, and captivating, but it could change not only your outlook on the Vietnam War, but your outlook on what you believe about politics and ideology in general. It does what the best of literature does: expands your consciousness beyond the limitations of your body and individual circumstances. —Karl Marlantes, author of Matterhorn and What It Is Like to Go to War
