"This is the story of Skip Sand - spy-in-training, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong - and the disasters that befall him. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, and its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death, or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature."--Publisher.

Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction, 2007.

Psychological fiction.
