I was assigned this book in my History 1866 to present class at CSUS. I looked forward to reading it bc I confess that although my dad faught in the American war in Vietnam that I had not ready any books about the war, other than history books. I have to say that I find this book to be terrible. :( Yes there were some interesting stories, characters, fascinating emotions described, but I feel that is does such a diservice to the soldiers who actually faught and the REAL stories of the war. History cannot claim a war generation that is more robbed of its due honor than the American Vietnam soldiers. And unfortuantely, I feel this book only serves to fail our veterans even more fully. I completely recommend Stolen Valor which is a book that tells the TRUE stories of their battles and virtues. OK, I'll climb down from my soap box and hope to hear from you on if you've heard of that book and if you eventually are able to read it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788802872006583722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479617772038556980.post-2071912472587316472008-01-23T11:07:00.000-08:002008-01-23T11:07:00.000-08:00No matter how good the movie is, you just can't be...No matter how good the movie is, you just can't be on team Jolie.
