	Going After Cacciato
		Cacciato is a private in O'Brien's squad (told through the eyes of a character named Paul Berlin) on the ground in Vietnam.
		Because it was a democracy, after all, and because LBJ and others had rightful claim to their offices.
		Because not to go was to risk censure, and to bring embarrassment on his father and his town.

	Books@Random \| Going After Cacciato: Readers' Group Companion
		Going After Cacciato captures the peculiar mixture of horror and hallucination that marked this strangest of wars.
		In a blend of reality and fantasy, this novel tells the story of a young soldier who one day lays down his rifle and sets off on a quixotic journey from the jungles of Indochina to the streets of Paris.
		Going After Cacciato could be said to take place all in the course of one night of extended sentry duty on an observation post on the South China Sea, during which Paul Berlin remembers recent combat experiences and also imagines a flight to Paris.

	Kali Tal: Images of Women in Vietnam War Novels by Combat Veterans
		Although Going After Cacciato possesses all of the characteristics of that genre—"elusiveness and ambiguity of the protagonist, the need for constant textual activity to test and reaffirm his status, the...absence of strong narrative closure" (Batsleer, 78)—Berlin is forced by his recognition of the destructive power of liminality to attempt to transcend traditional limits.
		Now if I were going with a girl, I'd have to stay on top of her and hold her tightly and pretend like I wanted to keep her close to me." (Huggett, 178) Asian prostitutes are not real "girls." To Hawkins all women are objects, but some require more care and tending than others.
		One day she is raped, in a graphic passage intended to be sexually stimulating to the reader: after she performs her services for a new man in the unit (as the rest of the men look on), Dozier forces her at gunpoint to perform fellatio on all of them.

		Going After Cacciato, by Tim O'Brien, is a book that presents many problems in understanding.
		As Milton J. Bates puts it, although Going After Cacciato is "not atrocity-based in the manner of much Vietnam War autobiography and fiction, [it does] record incidents in which Vietnamese civilians are beaten or killed and have their livestock and homes destroyed" (270).
		We don't keep wars going because of ideology; we do it because there is something inherent in human nature that likes to destroy, to do evil.

	Going After Cacciato by Tim O'Brien
		In Tim O'Brien's novel Going After Cacciato the theater of war becomes the theater of the absurd as a private deserts his post in Vietnam, intent on walking 8,000 miles to Paris for the peace talks.
		The remaining members of his squad are sent after him, but what happens then is anybody's guess: "The facts were simple: They went after Cacciato, they chased him into the mountains, they tried hard.
		Reminiscent of Joseph Heller's Catch-22, Going After Cacciato dishes up a brilliant mix of ferocious comedy and bleak horror that serves to illuminate both the complex psychology of men in battle and the overarching insanity of war.

	Bold Type: Excerpt by Tim O'Brien
		Cacciato eluded them but he left behind the wastes of his march: empty ration cans, bits of bread, a belt of gold-cased ammo dangling from a shrub, a leaking canteen, candy wrappers, worn rope.
		Loose and at ease, smiling, Cacciato already had the look of a civilian.
		Stink Harris took the point, walking fast and chattering, and Cacciato stopped waving and watched him come, arms folded loosely and his big head cocked aside as if listening for something.

		So, we make up a new reason for the war, after we’ve already begun the war, which is illogical and immoral.
		You don't go off to war telling your country you’re going for these reasons and then make up new ones afterward: “There’s this bad guy, and we got rid of him.” It’s manipulative.

	Amazon.com: Going After Cacciato: Books: Tim O'Brien
		"In October, near the end of the month, Cacciato left the war."
		Told from the perspective of squad member Paul Berlin, the search for Cacciato soon enters the realm of the surreal as the men find themselves following an elusive trail of chocolate M&M's through the jungles of Indochina, across India, Iran, Greece, and Yugoslavia to the streets of Paris.
		The details of this hallucinatory journey alternate with feverish memories of the war--men maimed by landmines, killed in tunnels, engaged in casual acts of brutality that would be unthinkable anywhere else.
