Wow this is difficult and riveting and sad. Such misunderstanding that leads to war and political jockeying and fear - the biggest reason we went to war. Fear of the spread of Communism. Very sad for the soldiers who fought.

This book was excellent. A first hand account of this soldiers experience in Vietnam and as a journalist afterward. Interesting, raw and insightful. I recommend this one.

Good book. Well as good as a book can be on the Vietnam War...right?! Graphic sad death and those surviving seem worse off somehow. Caputo writes well - excellent descriptions of the landscape and good analogies used. He shares his experiences and it had to take a lot of courage to write about this. I will have to write a book review for my course work.
