Im going to do a research on tim o'brien because he is the author of the book Tim O'Brien was born on October 1, 1946 in Minnesota, In 1968 he was drafted into the Army and was sent to Vietnam, where he served from 1968 to 1970 in 3rd Platoon, A Co., 5th Batt. 46th Inf., as an infantryman. O'Brien's tour of duty was 1969-70. He served in the Americal Division, the division that contained the unit involved in the infamous My Lai Massacre. O'Brien has said that when his unit got to the area around My Lai (referred to as "Pinkville" by the U.S. forces), "we all wondered why the place was so hostile. We did not know there had been a massacre there a year earlier. The news about that only came out later, while we were there, and then we knew."







when was he born? where was Tim O'brien born? what was his first book? when was he drafted? how vietnam affected his life?
