The Sorrow of War

Kien’s job is to search the Jungle of Screaming Souls for corpses. He knows the area well — this was where, in the dry season of 1969, his battalion was obliterated by American napalm and helicopter gunfire. Kien was one of only ten survivors. This book is his attempt to understand the eleven years of his life he gave to a senseless war.

Based on the true experiences of Bảo Ninh and banned by the communist party.

This novel is revered as the All Quiet on the Western Front for our era.
