Customer Reviews

A Vietnam book with autobiographical overtone.

I recently reread Valhalla's Child, and it has not lost any of its power. The conversations, banter, and other verbal interchanges between the Marines took me back to the time I spent in Vietnam, and brought back memories that were like yesterday. The author's personal acquaintance with the war, the jungle, and the Marines comes through his writing loud and clear. Still an excellent read.

Powerful

Powerful hard-hitting book written by an author who obviously has experienced the horrors of war first hand.

interesting view point of vietnam

you can tell pirkle was there and a part of the war. he uses a special writing technique to show us what the vietnam war was like. you feel what the characters where going through. fast action excellent read.

Best in-depth book about the Vietnam war I have ever read

I found "Valhalla's Child" to be the most moving book about war I have ever read. How those young men, just children really, could go through that and remain sane is beyond me. But then, perhaps they didn't if the presented statistics on PTSD and veteran suicide are considered.Judy phillips California
