《Matterhorn》紧张、震撼而引人入胜，是一部继承了Norman Mailer的《The Naked and the Dead》与James Jones的《The Thin Red Line》传统的史诗级战争小说。这是一个永恒的故事，讲述了年轻的海军陆战队中尉Waino Mellas与他在Bravo Company的战友们，他们作为青涩少年被空投到越南的山区丛林，不得不浴血奋战走向成熟。阻挡他们去路的不仅是北越军队，还有季风暴雨与泥泞、水蛭与老虎、疾病与营养不良。事实证明，几乎同样令人生畏的，是他们之间暴露出的重重障碍：种

……相比那些无能的参谋部将领，或者最初把我们派过去并一直按在那里的政客，前线士兵对那些无谓的牺牲所负的责任要小得多。你或许会喜欢卡尔·马兰特斯（Karl Marlantes）写的小说《马特峰》（Matterhorn），他曾是一名在越战中表现卓越的海军陆战队步兵军官。或者你可能会更偏好H.R.麦克马斯特中将（Lt General H.R. McMaster）写的《渎职》（Dereliction of Duty），他是反恐战争（GWOT）时期的著名指挥官，写过……
…alongside enlisted were less at fault for the needless deaths than the incompetent general staff or the political actors who got us and kept us over there in the first place. You might enj the novel “Matterhorn” by Karl Marlantes, a Marine infantry officer who served with distinction in Vietnam. Or you might prefer “Dereliction of Duty” by Lt General H.R. McMaster, a renowned commander of the GWOT era who wrote…
我本来想把这段回复在文章底下的，但还是直接发在这里吧。卡尔·马兰特斯的《马特峰》是过去十年里最伟大的美国小说之一。读一读你就会发现，你们俩的想法基本完全一致。（顺带提一句：我也是持久自由行动/伊拉克自由行动（OEF/OIF）的老兵，但不是战斗部队的。）
I was going to put this in reply to the article, but I'll say it here instead. Karl Marlantes' Matterhorn is one of the greatest American novels written in the last decade. Read it and you'll see that both of you are pretty much of the same opinion. (FWIW: I'm also an OEF/OIF vet, but not a combat vet.)
给正在看这条的人：Matterhorn 真的很好。这是一本以越战为背景的小说，作者是退伍老兵。我觉得它很好地让人看清战争是什么样子。还能从中得到一些关于……本质的好教训。
For anyone reading this: Matterhorn is really good. It's a novel that takes place during the Vietnam war written by a former vet. I feel like it was good insight into what war is like. Also some good lessons to take away on nature of…
卡尔·马兰特斯的《马特峰》。关于政客的卑劣以及军队内部往上爬的官僚嘴脸与越战之间的关系，这本大概是最深刻的揭露了。
Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. Probably the best expose about the vileness of politicians and command ladder climbers within the service as they related to Vietnam.
Matterhorn 是本好书。另一本我得去看看。
Matterhorn was a great book. I'll have to check out the other.
……柴可夫斯基（Tchaikovsky）。我花了一阵子才渐入佳境，但一旦读进去了就特别喜欢。如果你对漫长的时间线和人类的存在危机感兴趣，这本书就是为你量身定做的。至于七月份，我正在啃卡尔·马兰特斯的《马特峰》以及朱利安·杰恩斯（Julian Jaynes）的《二分心智的崩溃：人类意识的起源》（The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind）。
…Tchaikovsky. It took me a bit to get into this book, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. If you're into long timelines and human existential crisis this is your book. As far as July goes, I'm digging into "Matterhorn" by Karl Marlantes and "The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by Julian Jaynes.
