Editorial Reviews
Book Description
“An amazing book with an ending that made my jaw drop. A vivid glimpse into the experience of a human mind in the Vietnam War.”
—Andrew Wakeling, 18
“I'd like to see this read in high school history classes covering the Vietnam War period, read by young men AND young women.”
—Ginny Wakeling, his Mom
“I don’t usually read books outside school, but I couldn’t put this one down. My dad and I need to talk.”
—Ryan Forest, 19
“This guy got it right. I know. I was a medic too. Yes, my son and I need to have the talk I’ve been avoiding for thirty years.”
—Don Forest, his Dad
“Everyone who has registered in the Selective Service should read this book. I also found that my mother (48 years old) liked the book a lot. Maybe it shouldn’t only be targeted at just men.”
—Angela Lopez
