Going After Cacciato
by Tim O'Brien
Review this book!
The winner of the 1979 National Book Award for fiction, GOING AFTER CACCIATO captures the peculiar blend of horror and hallucinatory comedy that marked this, the strangest of wars. Reality and fantasy merge in this fictional account of one private's sudden decision to lay down his rifle and begin a quixotic journey from the fields of Indochina to the streets of Paris. Will Cacciato reach his destination? Or will he be yet another casualty of a conflict that seems to have no end? In its memorable evocation of men both fleeing and meeting the demands of the battle, GOING AFTER CACCIATO stands as much more than just a great war novel. Ultimately it is about the forces of fear and heroism that do battle in us all.

Media Reviews
"To call 'Going After Cacciato' a novel about war is like calling Moby Dick a novel about whales."
First Line
It was a bad time. Billy Boy Watkins was dead, and so was Frenchie Tucker.
