Opis

A re-release of this award-winning, critically acclaimed novel--featuring a new introduction by the author--just in time for its major motion picture release, directed by Two-time Academy Award® winner Ang Lee, screenplay by Jean-Christophe Castelli and featuring Joe Alwyn, Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel and Steve Martin.§§A ferocious firefight with Iraqi insurgents at "the battle of Al-Ansakar Canal" has transformed the eight surviving men of Bravo Squad into America's most sought-after heroes. The Bush Administration has sent them on a media-intensive nationwide "Victory Tour ". Now, at the end of their tour, the Bravos are set to do the Halftime Show at Texas Stadium where they'll be the Dallas Cowboys' guests.§§Among the Bravos is the Silver Star-winning hero of Al-Ansakar, a 19-year-old Texas native named Specialist William Lynn. On this final day before their redeployment, Billy and the Bravos will meet patriots who are proud of their troops and proud to be Americans. They include the Cowboy's hard-nosed businessman/owner and his coterie of wealthy colleagues; a luscious born-again Cowboys cheerleader; a veteran Hollywood producer; and supersized pro players eager for a vicarious taste of war. Between their faces he sees those of his family, his worried sisters and broken father, and there is Shroom, the philosophical sergeant who opened Billy's mind and died in his arms at Al-Ansakar.§§Over the course of this day, Billy will understand difficult truths, discover pure love, and gain a bitter wisdom far beyond his years.§
