An Important Collection of Views of the Vietnam Conflict

The further we get from the fire, the dimmer the image - but if there was ever a flame that the collective psyche of America would like best forgotten, it's the Vietnam debacle. For those Americans who realize the thread of reality needs to connect with the present, then this book is a must read. A wonderful collection of different visions and perspectives on those sad times - offered by grunts, generals, REMF's, the whole enchilada. A great read. Draw your own conclusions
