To understand what happens to the people in these interconnected stories is to understand America's anguish. Based on thousands of primary documents and 180 on-the-record interviews, the book describes the battles that evoked cultural and political conflicts that still reverberate. 248992 2003 They Marched Into Sunlight: War and Peace Vietnam and America October 1967 total:182|5:65|4:77|3:34|2:6|1:0| 182 747 269 35 4 2 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 16 15:43:22 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 16 16:04:44 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Sep 21 19:28:26 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 19:31:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Oct 22 12:05:33 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 12:08:59 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Mar 14 15:23:02 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 09:43:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 21:53:55 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 21:54:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 26 11:48:19 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 11:48:47 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Oct 01 17:38:58 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 17:56:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 07 18:31:01 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 18:33:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 16 20:27:38 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 29 06:41:40 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 29 06:46:11 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun May 11 08:11:22 -0700 2008 Sun May 11 08:14:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Sep 14 08:28:34 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 14 08:33:20 -0700 2007 This book is well-researched, tells an amazing story which juxtaposes the campus protests at the University of WIsconsin during the Vietnam War era with the daily life of a specific US unit of soldiers serving in Vietnam.

It gave me a better understanding of what each side felt was right but was also so wrong about the war. The men who fought the war and how they were lead right into a trap set by the VC and how so many died so young and never knowing what hit them.]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jun 27 05:21:05 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 27 05:25:29 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Oct 19 10:21:29 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 19 10:23:48 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Aug 23 11:26:28 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 13:20:57 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=844465
