A finalist for the National Book Award!
Three minutes and forty-three seconds of intense warfare with
Iraqi insurgents has transformed the eight surviving men of Bravo
Squad into America's most sought-after heroes. Now they're on a
media-intensive nationwide tour to reinvigorate support for the
war. On this rainy Thanksgiving, the Bravos are guests of the
Dallas Cowboys, slated to be part of the halftime show alongside
Destiny's Child.
Among the Bravos is Specialist Billy Lynn. Surrounded by
patriots sporting flag pins on their lapels and Support Our Troops
bumper stickers, he is thrust into the company of the Cowboys'
owner and his coterie of wealthy colleagues; a born-again Cowboys
cheerleader; a veteran Hollywood producer; and supersized players
eager for a vicarious taste of war. Over the course of this day,
Billy will drink and brawl, yearn for home and mourn those missing,
face a heart-wrenching decision, and discover pure love and a
bitter wisdom far beyond his years.
