Rising Like the Tucson

?Jeff Danziger has written a tough, scary, funny novel that deftly limns the overwhelming lunacy of the war in Vietnam. Large in scope, rich in character and incident, Rising Like the Tucson gets things exactly right. This was Vietnam: a weird mix of blundering and bravery.? ?Tim O?Brien

Echoing Catch-22, Rising Like the Tucson is a darkly hilarious tale of death and real estate in Vietnam. Lt. Kit is caught in the end of the conflict. Abandoned by his government, he and his fellow officers try to answer the great questions of war: is this a defeat or an investment opportunity?
