"Ambush" is one of the stories included in the anthology The Things They Carried by American author Tim O'Brien.

In this story, the character Tim O'Brien remembers his experiences during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was a conflict that lasted from November 1955 to April 1975, although American involvement ended in 1973. The war is an example of the series of proxy-wars that occurred during the Cold War.
