Fountain’s first novel. Said to be “[a]s close to the Great American Novel as anyone is likely to come…”. This book is a satirical novel chronicling the experiences of eight survivors of an intense firefight with Iraqi insurgents. They are transformed into heroes after three minutes and forty-three sections of warfare is caught on tape by an embedded news crew. “Hilarious and heartbreaking”. A powerful novel that explores contemporary ironies.
