Non-stop reading...conquering fear during a terrible war!

This book was one of the best books I have read on any war. Not only was it written in an easy to read manner, it does something that not many other books do - it teaches several lessons at the end of each chapter. The author shares with his readers the lessons he learned while confronting many of the fears during the Vietnam war. Another refreshing item is his lack of swearing and/or curse words which is so prevalent in war books. I highly recommend this book.

Two Thumbs Up!

This book has special meaning to me it has helped me realize how good life is. You see I am in a unique position I have had the oppertunity to get to know the author. I have known Mr. Vogel for many years he was my junior high principle and friend. I am now a senior in high school. I have read this book through many times it is a book that can be read over and over it never gets old. Buy this book and pass it on it is the best [money] you wil ever spend. Thanks Mr. Vogel!

Growing Up Today and Yesterday

This book has special meaning to me as it was authored by my brother. I was 17 when he left for Vietnam and was I totally engrossed in being a teenager in the 70's, not realizing what horrors he was put through. I would read his letters but never once thought he wouldn't come home to tell his stories. Now that I am an adult and a parent, I can fully appreciate what he and my parents must have gone through. I had a hard time putting it down, mainly because of the intensity with which he wrote and the outpouring of sincerity and honesty.I believe every parent and teen should read this as lessons learned are not only a matter of commone sense but straight from the heart. He talks not only of himself in that horror but I felt he was speaking for thousands more who did not live to speak of the war. It will give you a different perspective of the Vietnam war, and you will come away with a happy heart for his survival and his love of life today.

Review of Thomas Vogel's "Growing up in Vietnam"

I recently purchased several copies of this book, and sent them to my family and friends. My dad who is an avid book reader, and big fan of books on history made the statement to me "This is possibly one of the best books I have ever read". I have completed about 50% of the book and am growing towards the same conclusion. I guess the best way I can review this book is by saying this book is real, as well as the person who wrote it. This book comes alive with action, suspense, and real life stories from Vietnam. In my dad's words get the book, and you will never put it down!
