LEFT JOIN ON INNER JOIN using Oracle 8i

Hi there,
Could anyone explain how to do a left join on an inner join. I have three tables A,B,C. I want to do the following using  the oracle syntax:
SELECT * FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN
   (B INNER JOIN C ON B.FKC = C.PKC AND C.FIELDA 'somevalue')    ON A.PKA = B.FKA This doesn't work:
SELECT * FROM A, B, C
WHERE

    C.PKC = B.FKC
AND A.PKA = B.FKA(+)
AND C.FIELDA='somevalue'
