A pioneering work

This is the best and only book about Vietnam War movies written while the war was still going on (i.e., before Apocalypse Now, Rambo II, etc.) As such, it is a unique view of how we Americans actually saw the war at the time, without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. More importantly, this book is a lot of fun to read, thanks to the author's unique sense of humor.
