Reviews

[Joe Robertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great book! It should be required reading for anyone studying the Viet Nam War. It is a travesty how history has been re-written by the liberals/progressives both inside and outside of America. I highly recommend this book.

An interesting read for my Vietnam war essay, even though I am not a neoconservative.

Americans are badly in need of this education still today!
