insane how atrocities committed by USA will never be hidden or forgotten. loved learning about the realness of war and the return to civilian life. the mexican family stories were relatable and perfectly depicted the struggles of assimilation. juan has a tender, reflective and honest approach. this book is a gem!! protect all my latino men from alcoholism

One of the most honest depictions of going to war, combat and the hard transition back to civilian life I've ever read.

I had been wanting to read a history of Vietnam for awhile. This was convenient accident to have on the 2012 anthony challenge. The writing wasn't amazing, but it wasn't supposed to be. It was honest, humble and insightful. Maybe it wasn't the exhaustive political and sociological history and explanation of the Vietnam War but it was a lovely and sad portrait of one man's experience, both in Vietnam and in America before and after the war.

A gripping autobiography of a Vietnam survivor.
