Summary: Raw, Gritty, Wholly Believable
Review: This is an excellent book. What it lacks in writing style it makes up for with brutal honesty and relentless truth-telling.Rad Miller's book is an excellent primary source, and a useful tool for someone who wants to learn the history of the Vietnam conflict. Bearing in mind that this is only one soldier's perspective, the book perfectly captures the spirit of the late sixties and early seventies, and goes beyond simply describing combat and training, but actually grapples with the issues of the war and chaos that reigned on the homefront. A must-read.
