In Pharaoh's Army: Memories of the Lost War by Tobias Wolff is certainly a worthy collection of non-fiction stories about the Vietnam War. Wolff captures the stupidity and waste of war – especially in the context of Vietnam, which as wars go, was worse than most. That said, some of the episodes he tells here feel “puffed up” to be humorous. These moments soil an otherwise powerful collection.
