Second time I have read this book, and I found it much more memorable this time around. Its both fictional and historical, with some biographical elements to it, which makes for an interesting read. I find it to be a sad book, ultimately, with such a wasteful end to so many lives explored, and it really drives home the point that it was kids over in Vietnam dying, which makes the tragedy all the more tragic. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68314203 to: Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today (Kindle Edition) by Tom Brokaw
