Publisher's Summary

In Saigon during the waning days of the Vietnam War, a small-time journalist named John Converse thinks he'll find action - and profit - by getting involved in a big-time drug deal. But back in the States, things go horribly wrong for him. Dog Soldiers perfectly captures the underground mood of America in the 1970s, when amateur drug dealers and hippies encountered profiteering cops and professional killers - and the price of survival was dangerously high.

©1973, 1974, 1994 Robert Stone; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks America

    "intense narrative of a dark and complex time"

    I have not read the print version.

    the subtleties of the characterizations


    Which scene was your favorite?

    If you could rename Dog Soldiers, what would you call it?

    I would not rename it. This is a silly request in my opinion.

    Story
    "dull and painful and depressing"

    This book is well read and has a superficially plausible plot. It was good enough that I managed to listen through to the bitter end, but that's the best I can say for it. A tale of a not-very-bright journalist's foray into the drug business, the story never becomes believable or engaging. We have deep exploration into the human psyche. We have page after page of slow, unredeeming death. The book is dull and painful and depressing - Conrad without the magic.
