GREAT BOOK ABOUT REPORTING THE VIETNAM WAR

I bought this book for personal reasons. Searches for a certain person in my past brought up this book and I found reference to him in this book. Sadly, he is no longer alive and I can't contact him. So the book well-served its purpose for me. The book itself is very-well written and basically is a critique of the various reporters and cameramen who covered the Vietnam war. Great insight, especially how the war was properly and improperly portrayed in our news. Brought back some memories of that time ....

Amazing story of a world changed forever

This is a fantasic story of survival, love and a nation changed by war. Steinman takes the reader inside the war, and, even more; inside a culture. With an intimate look at the Vietnamese people, the author touches on emotions and aspects of life in the war-torn country that have been overlooked by so many other works written about this hard time in world history. This is not so much a story about the war, as it is about the people and how the war and the coverage of that war changed everything; for Vietnam and the world. I highly recommend this book.
