"Better Times Than These is a novel on the largest scale -- a total portrait of men caught up in war. The protagonist of this remarkable book is Bravo Company, Fourth Battalion, Seventh Cavalry -- the same regiment George Armstrong Custer took to the Little Big Horn a century ago -- now without horses, fighting as infantry. The time is 1966. The place is Vietnam." -- [Quoted from the dust wrapper's blurb]. Good .
