Customer Reviews

This is a refreshing new look on the Vietnam War.

Too many books on Vietnam are written from a wannabe hero version of their experiences in country. This book approaches the war from a point of view of a man who is not afraid to be scared. I think this is a must read for anyone who wants to attempt to understand the life of a real hero in Vietnam.
