&#8216;What good are MPs?&#8217; Gary Reilly&#8217;s Private Palmer wonders. Like Michael Casey&#8217;s Obscenities, The Detachment answers by following one military policeman across his absurd tour of duty in Vietnam.

Gary Reilly has measured every action through soldier Palmer&#8217;s time in the service, every duty, in prose which is clean and careful and he brings us scene by scene the aggregate of one man&#8217;s experience. It&#8217;s a powerful and convincing book, Catch 23 or 24, vivid, considered, and real.&#8221;<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size:80%; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal;\"><br \/>\n~ Ron Carlson, author of<br \/>\n<strong>Return to Oakpine<\/strong><br \/>\nand<br \/>\n<strong>Five Skies<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n&#8220;There has never been a war novel quite like this, a minute-by-minute, stream-of-consciousness, unerring accurate portrait of army life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:80%; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal;\"><br \/>\n~ John Mort, author of<br \/>\n<strong>Solider in Paradise<\/strong><br \/>\nand<br \/>\n<strong>DONT MEAN NOTHIN, Vietnam War Stories<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gary Reilly is the G.I.
