Review Quotes:
Meredith Barnett: 5 Stars! A great read for my dad who served with 5/7 Cav in 66 & 67 in Vietnam I started reading this book on my iPad about a year ago I would read several stories at a time then stop and try to absorb these great stories of these heroes of the Vietnam war. I want to thank my daughter for talking me into reading this great book and also you Mr. Brown for doing a great job looking forward to Vol 2.
Amazon Customer: 5 Stars! Great book for a veteran We bought this for my father in law for Christmas. He was a plane specialist (I don't know his actual title) in Vietnam and he is an avid reader. He blew through this book. He really enjoyed it.
Phillip Martin Griffiths: 5 Stars! VALUE FOR MONEY From the United Kingdom. GREAT READ ****
GranJan: 5 Stars! The Truth is in the Telling This is the most haunting of books! I did not serve, but many of my friends did. My brother-in-law died of Agent Orange 45 years after the fact. Other Vietnam veterans that I have known didn't last that long. One thing I have learned from my combat-veteran Marine husband is that we will never know what serving is truly like. And, judging from his PTSD and nightmares, I'm glad for that. This book helped me understand a little more what it was like to be there. I believe that I will re-read this book every so often as it is tough to comprehend in just one reading. Thank you so much for telling their stories!
Hank Lajoie: 5 Stars! Brief, Personal Accounts Tell A Longer Story Kudos to the author: this is an excellent primer for anyone who wants to know more about our misadventures in Vietnam. Individual accounts explain some of the events that shaped the entire Vietnam experience.
