About this product

Product Information

Originally published in 1978, Webb's classic novel of the Vietnam War follows three soldiers from different worlds who are plunged into a white-hot murderous realm of jungle warfare as it was fought by one Marine platoon in the An Hoa Basin in 1969. In the heat and horror of battle, they took on new identities, took on each other, and were each reborn in the fields of fire.

Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

"Moneyball" is an old/new movie/DVD that I haven't seen. "Retrostar Music" as seller had some of Mr. Pitts movies & this was labelled "New", I decided to purchase it. The seller sent all I ordered with FREE shipping &discounted the price of all as well. It took less than a week - six days - for my complete order to arrive & they were all carefully packaged & arrived in two boxes. If I ever have a question regarding what else is in the seller's inventory, I always receive a very prompt reply.

Fields of Fire by James Webb (2001)
After reading a feature article in Parade magazine about Senator James Webb of Virginia, I purchased his book with the idea of reading it on vacation. When the book arrived I was excited to learn it was written about events in a specific place in Vietnam . . . The An Hoa Basin. I served in this area and am very familiar with the all of the places, “The Arizona Valley,” “Liberty Bridge,” “Dodge City.” Collectively, this is where the enemy lived and was hard-core duty for the grunts. In my opinion this book is an American masterpiece on par with Hemmingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, or A Farewell to Arms. It is the story of a typical Marine Corps platoon living in the primitive and constantly dangerous conditions of war. The characters come and go as casualties . . . Baby Cakes, Cat ... After reading a feature article in Parade magazine about Senator James Webb of Virginia, I purchased his book with the idea of reading it on vacation. When the book arrived I was excited to learn it was written about events in a specific place in Vietnam . . . The An Hoa Basin. I served in this area and am very familiar with the all of the places, “The Arizona Valley,” “Liberty Bridge,” “Dodge City.” Collectively, this is where the enemy lived and was hard-core duty for the grunts. In my opinion this book is an American masterpiece on par with Hemmingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, or A Farewell to Arms. It is the story of a typical Marine Corps platoon living in the primitive and constantly dangerous conditions of war. The characters come and go as casualties . . . Baby Cakes, Cat Man, Snake, Ogre and Wild Man are just a few. These Marines, as a matter of necessity, fall in love with the firefight and become true brothers. It brings new meaning to the relevance of diversity. This book is for anyone planning to join the Marines. If you know someone planning to enlist . . . give them this book. It should be required reading for all newly commissioned officers. This is about the absurdity of war and the primitive nature of the human condition. It is intense and gut wrenching, it will make you laugh out loud, choke up with tears and has a very powerful message. Prominent Book Reviews NEWSWEEK: “In swift, flexible prose that does everything he asks of it including a whiff of hilarious farce, just to show he can - - Webb gives us an extraordinary range of acutely observed people, not one a stereotype, and as many different ways of looking at (the Vietnam) war. FIELDS OF FIRE is a stunner.” TIME: “Webb’s book has the unmistakable sound of truth acquired the hard way. His men hate the war; it is lethal fact cut adrift from personal sense. Yet they understand that its profound insanity, its blood and oblivion, have in some way made them fall in love with battle and with each other. Back in “the World” they would never be so incandescently alive. The point is as old as Homer, of course, but Webb restates it with merciless precision.” NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEW: “The sound and smell of combat permeates FIELDS OF FIRE with a completeness that is extraordinary and a realism that is almost eerie . . . at the end the reader is disappointed only because there is no more good reading. While the reviewer has not read all of the books about Vietnam, he has read most of them. FIELDS OF FIRE is unquestionably the best. The rest aren’t even close.” BEST SELLERS: “This is not a war novel about Vietnam but rather a people novel about people fighting in Vietnam. The selling point of this work is the characters. As a non-lover of war novels, this reviewer recommends the reading of FIELDS OF FIRE.

Gripping and fast paced, a must read for war buffs. The vietnam war told at the gut level. If you cant relate to this then you dont have a soul.
