Summary: Heart Touching
Review: This novel portrayed the 60's. the era was one of complete dissarray,unhappiness and lines drawn in the sand. You were for or against. We that stood for, were the patriots, those against we felt were traitors. After all these years I guess the only that could state who was right are gone but their names will allways remain with us on the wall of honor. This novel brought back all those thoughts to me. He wrote a novel that not only smelled and felt but was the way things were in those days. Anyone in education should attempt to make this novel a required reading in our high school's today. It is a explanation of anyone that has ever served in our armed forces what we beleive in. Anyone that never has must learn the Rangers important belief, we must all Charlie Mike.

Summary: Great Vietnam book
Review: When I started reading this book I was amazed at how good everything was described with characters and what they were doing or thinking. I admire an author who can describe things so well that you can picture everything in your mind. This book made me smile, it made me sad, but most of all, it made me look at both the NVA and the American Soldiers in a different way. I have a new found respect for both soldiers fighting for what they truly believed in. I've read many books both fiction and nonfiction and this is by far the best fiction Vietnam war book I've ever read. I recommend it for anybody who is intrested in the Vietnam war.
