The term ""friendly fire"" was coined in the 1970s but the theme
appears in literature from ancient times to the present. It begins
the narrative in Aeschylus's Persians and Larry Heinemann's Paco's
Story. It marks the turning point in Homer's Iliad>, Virgil's
Aeneid, the Chanson de Roland, Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of
Courage and Tim O'Brien's Going After Cacciato. It is the subject
of transformative disclosure in Jann Kross's Czar's Madman, Ron
Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, O'Brien's In the Lake of the
Woods and A.B. Yehoshua's Friendly Fire. In some stories, events
propel the characters into a friendly-fire catastrophe, as in
Thomas Taylor's A Piece of this Country and Oliver Stone's 1986
film Platoon. This study examines friendly fire in a broad range of
literary contexts.
