In some ways, the best hope for a unified dramatic impression lies in fiction. Yet American war novels so far have ranged from broad-gauged pop, with legions of far-flung participants (Irwin Shaw's The Young Lions, 1948), to hysterically myopic, if sometimes heartbreakingly funny indictments of war as madness (Catch-22, 1961). In between, slogging platoons and companies (led by Sergeants Mailer and Jones) glumly pressed...
