Summary: Go get it
Review: This book was outstanding it took a very large ordeal and shrunk it to the story of the 1st battalion, 7th cavalry. And the personal accounts that these people had in the Ia Drang valley in Vietnam. This was one of the most significant events in America's history. There were some 450 men in this battalion; they were immediately surrounded by some 2000 Vietnamese soldiers that would only stop fighting when they were all dead. It told the story of the unselfishness that our American soldiers have for each other; probably one of the most touching events through out the book. These soldiers cared for each other all the way through the battle.

I recommend this book to people who like attention grabbing books because this was definitely one of them. Also if you like learning about Americas history this is the book for you it hits many points and makes you question what we did and why did we do it. I personally don't like to read but this book was well worth it and I did not want to put it down once I started reading it. So I do highly recommend this to everyone it's a great read full of action and now I want to go rent the movie to see all the action that I visualized while reading. So don't sit there and read anymore of this and go get the book what are you waiting for? Go get it now...

Review: This is a great book. It will put many things into prospective for you. I would definitely recommend this book, though at times it is hard to keep up with the store with so many different viewpoints by other soldiers. Over all this is an excellent book.
