The things they carried

It's a book by Tim O'Brien about a platoon of American soldiers in the Vietnam war. It is a collection of stories, woven around a central theme.... the platoon and their experience. For me it was more like listening to the other as he tells about fragments of his experience as it comes to his mind. I liked the style which is different. Also he writes it in a way that eventually you will never know how much was true and which part was fictional.
